	The Ford did not turn over but spun twice like a top as the engine plowed into it, he said. Young Huxman, who was driving was thrown clear of the wreckage but as Mr. Kuhn arrived on the scene the mother and daughter were still in the back seat of the car, Kuhn said. The mother was dead but the girl was still breathing, according to the witness' account. So terrific was the impact that the head of the mother was wedged through the rear window and it was necessary to exercise care in taking out the body ~~aso~~ as not to cut her throat on the broken glass, he reported.

			— A most tragic accident occurred last Sunday morning in Hutchinson at the spot where highway 50S crosses the Rock Island railroad when Mrs. John P. Huxman of Moundridge, her son Daniel and daughter Louise were instantly killed as their car was struck by a passenger train. The three were on their way to Pretty Prairie to spend the day with relatives. The only two survivors of the family are Mr. Huxman and the twelve year old son, John. Mr. Huxman is at present in the hospital here in Newton, where for the past weeks he had been receiving treatment. According to reports he had planned to leave the hospital sometime soon, the shock of the news of his family's tragedy may however delay his dismissal. A complete account of the accident taken from the Hutchinson News, appears on another page of this issue.
