SIX KILLED BY TRAIN
Accident at Austin, Ind., Was Fatal to Members of a Kentucky Family
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 14
Four persons were killed outright and two others died from their injuries within a few hours when a Pennsylvania passenger train hit an automobile at a railroad crossing in Austin, Ind., Thursday. Those instantly killed were: Ellsworth Belch, Dayton, Ky.; Mrs. Ellsworth Belch, Dayton, Ky.; Miss Amelia Belch, 20-year-old daughter of Ellsworth Belch, Dayton Ky.; Mrs. Mary Belch, sixty years old, Austin, Ind., relative of Ellworth Belch.
The following received injuries from which they died while being taken on a special train to the hospital at Seymour, Ind.: Beulah Robbins, fourteen years old, an orphan child, Austin, Ind.; Leona Trulock, twelve years old, Austin, Ind., daughter of Marshall Trulock.
The auto was in charge of Mr. Ellsworth Belch who had left his home in Dayton, Ky., a few days ago to visit relatives in Austin. He was at the wheel and was taking the party for a drive. As the car was crossing the railroad tracks, the engine stopped and, before the passengers could get out, the train struck the motor car crushing it to splinters and scattering
the occupants in every direction. The engineer of the train, seeing the car stalled on the track, made every effort to stop the train but without avail.
Witnesses of the accident say that Mr. Ellsworth's (sic: should be Mr. Ellsworth Belch's] view of the track was obscured by a cutoff freight cars and that he could not see the approaching train.
