Tom McNerney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul McNerney, 1234 South Garrison Avenue, sole survivor of the accident is suffering from a ruptered kidney and peritonitis has developed, according to the attending physician. He was given a blood plasma at 8 o'clock this morning and was to undergo a blood transfusion this afternoon. He also suffered a concussion and was unconscious until late yesterday. Early this morning his condition became more alarming and his uncle, George Calhoon and his aunt, Miss Myrtle Calhoon, who had been at his bedside until about midnight, were called back to Pittsburg. His parents have been at his bedside since learning of the accident early yesterday morning.
The eight persons were on their way to their homes from the Trianon at Croweburg, Kansas, 12 miles northeast of Pittsburg, where they had attended a dance. The car, owned by Paul McNerney, was being driven east on the highway and the train was en route from Nevada to Pittsburg. The car apparently collided with the engine near the front, according to Dr. W. G. Rinehart of Pittsburg, coroner of Crawford county, who made an investigation. Dr. Rinehart said it was indicated that the motor car was traveling at a high speed. The crossing is at an angle and the course of the train and car were such that it was s semi head on collision.
The train, Dr. Rinehart said, came to a stop about 80 feet from the crossing. Members of the train crew, all of Nevada, are J. P. Baker, engineer; J. A. Fields, conductor; C. B. Johnson, fireman; L. A. Frix and E. C. Johnson, brakeman.
