Jos. Warren Killed by Train Near Crandall
Hamiota, Man. Aug. 27
Jos. Warren and his son Wallace were crossing the C.T.P. (Grand Trunk Pacific) track south of Crandall this morning when a freight train struck the auto which they were riding in andkilled the father, burying him in the wreckage, and seriously injured his son, who was thrown 40 ft.
He was found by John Rudd and immediately taken to Hamiota hospital, where his condition was found to be serious.
Jos. Warren had lost a purse yesterday containing a large sum of money, and it is supposed that the two men were watching the road closely for the missing article, and in this way they did not notice the train coming. The train crew did not see the auto coming.
