Mrs. Van Djko lies at Sacred Heart hospital with a fracture of Ihc skull, in a pre carious condition, an1 her son is suf fering from n broken thiislt and con tusions. The buggy was ground to bits and the horse killed. Mr. Van Dyke was carried a quarter of a mile on the cowcatcher before the en gine could be stopped. Tho son gives the following vers ion of the accident, according to Or. Conroy. His mother drove on the I nek without seeing the approaching train. Workmen employed on the Pacific highway shouted a warning, and this confusod Mrs. Vnn Dyke. An attempt was first made to go ahead and then back up. All the time the workmen were shouting ndice. Frank told the doctors they did not know whether to go forward or back ward. The engineer of the freight, when he realized an accident could not le averted closed his eyes to shut out the picture. As soon ns the heavy trriii could be stopped the train clew ruhed to the assistance of the in- jam! mother and son. They were brought to this city and' rushed to Sacred Heart hosiptal, where Drs. Conroy nnd Thayer gnvc medical aid une or tuc oones ot the skull wa pressed against the brain of Mrs. Vnn Dyke, and an ojcrntion was per formed. Unless infection arises she has a fighting chance for life. The crossing is n private one and used by the public only during the construction of tho Pacific highway.
