The death-bringing accident happened last Thursday as Mr. Wedell and Gilmer Dirks of Moundridge were driving to Hutchinson in Mr. Wedell's Buick. As they were about to cross the Rock Island tracks at Medora they suddenly noticed the approaching train and Mr. Wedell quickly turned the car more or less parallel with the tracks to avoid a collision. The engine of the train, however, hit the car on the rear and carried it along for some distance. The side of the car on which Mr. Dirks was seated was damaged least and he therefore escaped serious injury. Funeral services for Mr. Wedell will be held at the Emmanuel church north of Moundridge this afternoon. He was 25 years old, the son of Mrs. P. C. Wedel. |
