In explaining the accident one of
the men said that the “to cars were
coupled closely together and the rear
car was doing the pushing by a gaso
line motor. 'The men were standing
on the front platform. which had a
higher platform on one side. When
the car neared the mile post it was
going at it fair rate of speed and left
the rails. , It. dropped about six inches
and struck between two ties. The
jar was sufficient to throw all the men
off the front platform. The men that
were injured the most were standing
111' the center of the crowd and were
struck by the car.
