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.
