TRAIN HITS AUTO BUT
OCCUPANTS UNHURT
Two occupants of a Maxwell auto
mobile experienced all the thrills of
collision with a train near Monroe
Saturday, and came oif minus any in
juries. Their car, however, was a
total wreck.
According to one of the trainmen,
tile train was running north. The en
gineer saw an auto standing off to
the right of the track ahead.. All at
once the car seemed to give a jump
and landed right in the middle of the'
track, where it stalled. The engine
hi the machine square, demolishing
it and throwing it off in the right of
way. The men were thrown out of
the car unhurt.
The engineer stopped the train with
in a car's length and went to the as
sistance of the men. They got up, a
surprised couple. They stated that
they had stopped in the road, never
dreaming that they were near a track.
They had to cross a little rise to jet
over the track and killed their en-rinc
at the top. They had the side cur
tains un and could not hear the train.
