NO.17 Auto Smashed ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT FLOR- IN ON SUNDAY EVENING The Fine Large Buick Touring Car of Mr. Milton Wittle of Elizabeth- town, Reduced Kindling Wood at the P. BR. R. Crossing at Moore's Mill—Four Passengers Escape Une to injured \ There might have been a bad ac «ident at Florin at eight o'clock Sun- day evening and when the news spread that a train struck and re- to kindling wood a large tour- that village thrown excitment. Mr. and Mrs. Milton Wittle Mr. and Mrs. John Southern, all Elizabethtown, were returning from outing to Myers- duced ing was car entire into and of at a day's friends town They were about to approach the P. R. R. tracks at Florin, going toward the Harrisburg pike, when Mr. Wittle stopped his car with a view of ascertaing whether or not there was a train in sight. A train going east, due at Florin at eight o'clock was at the depot, just a square away. Mr. Wittle thought he could cross before the train came and started on his way. When mid- way on the east bound track his en- gine stalled and the large car stop- ped. At that time the train pulled away from the depot. Mr. Wittle ran up the middle of the track waiv- ing both hands and screaming at the top of his voice for the engineer to stop In the meantime, Mrs. Wittle jumped out of the machine as did also Mr. and Mrs. Southern. The engineer evidently did not see Mr. Wittle as he made no effort to stop train. As the point from the depot to the crossing is down grade the train had a fairly good start and it struck the auto a full “side swipe.” The steel frame and part of the en- his gine were carried along almost to the tower, two squares away, while the balance of the machine was smashed into kindling wood, nothing larger remaining than a seat. The part hanging the was in some manner ignited and be- on engine gan burning but was at once dis- lodged when the train stopped. The conductor ran his train back, took the names of the unfortunate auto- ists, immediately sent for the rail- road physician, Dr James Ziegler, of this place, and also took the names of a number of witnesses to the accident. The remains of the machine were at ance gathered together and plac- ed in a box car nearby and half an hour after the accident passersby could not tell by the surroundings that anything had occurred there. There is a watchman at this cross- ing but he had already gone off duty. It is quite likely that the company will re-imburse Mr. Wittle for his auto. The autoists returned to Eliza- bethtown by trolley. ll Big Egg Plant One of the largest egg plagts we | have ever seen was brought/to this office Saturday by Mr. Levi Heisey, East It megsured 24 inches around one way and 25 inches of Donegal. around the other way and is one of a large number that Mr. Heisey rais- ed He also has corn that measur- ers 13 feet 7 inches. ! —— ee Will Sell His Farm Last week we printed a set of pos- ters for Mr. Morris N.
