The train was in charge of Con
ductor Fulcher and was drawn by an
oil-burning engine. It was stopped
within a few feet from where the car
landed. The engineer in charge has
been on the London-Wingham train
at various times for several years
and has had a -clean record.
Mrs. Mervin Cudmore, formerly
Miss Avis Lindenfield, R.N., and a
first cousin of the deceased! who
lives about one hundred yards west
of the track was an eye-witness to
the accident. On account of a -high
fence she could only see the auto
just as it came upon the track. She
happened to be looking out of a win
dow a.t the time. Mr. Cudmore, who
was in an adjoining field, was' the
first to arrive upon the scene. The
car was a complete wreck, one of
the worst we have seen. It was a
Chrysler sedan and- was twisted and
splintered all to pieces. It was
brought to the Huron Garage.
There is no explanation offered: as
to .the cause of the accident. There
are a few houses between -the road
and the station which is less than a
mile away but otherwise the view is
clear. It is thought that the two
were talking and failed: to notice
the train. Mr. Birk had not been in
the be-:,t of health and has been tak
ing things- easy because of a weak
heart. Mr. Birk hadi been to the
bank just before going to meet .the
train and had over $860.00i on him,
at the time.
Dr. W. E. Weetkies- and Dr. J. G.
Dunlop were called to the scene,
but both victims of’ the accident haa
passed away when they arrived-'. The
news soon spread and many persons
visited the spot. As Dr Weakest is
