WOMAN KILLED IN CROSSING CRASH
ITASCA, Dec. 2 - A grade crossing accident five miles south of Itasca Sunday morning claimed the life of Mrs. W. B. Made, about 40, and resulted in serious and perhaps fatal injuries to her husband, Itasca farmer, and three of their four children who were in the automobile.
Mrs. Mabe, who was riding in the rear seat of the scar, was crushed and killed instantly. A six-month old baby was thrown from the wrecked car by the impact and escaped injury.
Maybe, who was driving, suffered internal injuries, and Fay, Ruth and another of their children were seriously injured, some receiving broken bones.
The injured members of the family were taken to Hillsboro to a hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Mabe and their children were enroute from Itasca to Hillsboro. At the grade crossing their vision was partly cut off by a string of box cars on a siding and those first at the wreck said the windows on the cedar being closed probably prevented the driver from hearing the noise of the approaching southbound passenger train.
W.. B. Mabe was a brother of the Mabe brothers of Crosbyton, and Mrs. R. E. Marr. Judge Jake M. Mabe, who has recently moved to Levelland, and Louie Mabe of Levelland, J. N. Mabe of Crosbyton and Mrs. R. E. Marr of Crosbyton left here Monday morning for Hillsboro to be at the bedside of their brother and family. A telegram received here later stated that Mr. Mabe and children were getting along very nicely and it was thought that they would recover.
The family is known to a good many of the Crosbyton people who sympathize with the family in their deep sorrow.
