Uniondale - Emory Washburn, 45, was killed and Merrill Crandall, 21, was injured, when a fast D. & H. freight train struck their automobile at the crossing. The place where the accident occurred is 600 ft. south of the railroad station. The men, both of whom were employed by the Gibson Coal Company, of Simpson, were returning home from work. The grade crossing is protected by both signs and a warning signal bell and railroad officials are at a loss to account for the automobile being on the tracks, in the path of the oncoming train. Witnesses said the car literally ran into the train. The engineer of the train could not bring it to a stop before it had crashed into the machine and dragged it several hundred feet down the tracks, demolishing it and throwing the occupants clear of the wreckage. Both men were placed aboard the caboose and rushed to Emergency Hospital, Carbondale. However, Washburn died before he was admitted. Crandall is doing well.
