Train Hits Car on
Cemetery Road
Carl Hanacek Has Narrow Escape
From Death Yesterday Afternoon
When No. 103 Hits Car.
From Thursdays Ta!)v
Yesterday afternoon the Chevrolet
touring ear owned by Rudolph Ska
lak and driven by Carl Hanaeek, was
struck at the Oak street crossing
by northbound train No. 103 over
the .Missuui) Pacific and the car
rendered almost a total wreck.
The driver of the car was going
west on the graveled road on Oak
street and claims that when he came
up the hill from the east he looked
for the automatic warning signal
but which was not showing any
signs of the approaching train and
he came onto the crossing only toj
.ee the oncoming passenger train f
just a short distance south of the
crossing.
As the driver of the car saw the
oncoming train he stepped on the
gas and attempted to clear the cross
ing and to this fact he probably owes
his life, as the pilot of the locomotive
of the train crashed into the rear of
the touring car and nractically de
molished the rear portion of the car.
leaving the front of the car undam
aged and saving the life of the young
man who was at the wheel. The
wrecked car was thrown to the north
side of the road and when hitting the
bank the windshield was broken.
The accident caused a great deal
of excitement and a number who
were at the station awaiting the
train walked to the scene of the acci
dent a block south of the station and
assisted in getting to young man
from the wreckage of the car.
The train was backed south to the
block and a test made cf the auto
matic signal and it was found that
it was not working, witnesses of
the accident and the test state, and
which verified the statements of the
driver of the car as to not seeing
the danger signal.
Mr. Hanacek was badly shaken up
and nervous as the result of the
Accident and this morning was very
stiff and sore as the result of the ex
perience that he was through, but
feels fortunate that he was able to
escape from the wreckage with his
life.

Elks Banquet
to Boost for the
Swimming Pool
Event Will be Held on Monday Even
ing at Community Building to
Start the Bali Rolling.
From Thursday's Iaily
Sometime ago the proposition wa
started at the local lodge of the Elks
of the creation of a swimming pool
tin the property of the lodge, ad
joining their club house building on
the north and which at the time was
given a great deal of support but
on which real definite action was not
taken.
On Monday evening at the Ameri
can Legion community building the
Elks will meet in banquet and at
which time it is hoped to have the
sentiment crystalized as to the swim
ming pool and start the ball rolling
that will result in the securing of
this enterprise by the close of the
summer and which will allow this
added feature of the Elks club to be
enjoyed by the members of the famil
ies of the Elks.
The proposition is one that should
attract general community interest,
as there has been much agitation in
the past years on this idea of a com
munity swimming pool and here it
is right at hand. While not entirely
F?rblic pool it is a great asset to
the community and in their efforts
to make the pool possible, the Elks
should have the assistance and sup
port of the general public.
The banquet will be held on Mon
day evening at t:30 at the commun
ity building on Vine street and at
this gathering there should be every
Elk to get back of the proposition.
The success of the plan depends on
the expansion of the membership of
the local lodge and which will be
the big part of the lodge members.
to bring to the order the additional
membership that will make the swim
ming pool a reality and give the
lodge members and their families a
real place to enjoy the summer sea
son without going miles from home
for a plur.ge in the cooling waters of
the swimming pool.
