SAD ACCIDENT AT CALDWELL
 
Genevieve Garvin, aged 13, who was fatally injured in an accident which 
happened at a railroad crossing near Caldwell Friday morning died of her 
injuries at St. Luke's hospital in Boise, at 3 o'clock Saturday morning.
 
Mary, an older sister, was also badly injured in the accident, when the buggy 
in which the girls were driving to school, was struck by the Oregon Short Line 
Pony and demolished, the horse being killed outright.  Both girls, the 
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Garvin, who reside a short distance from 
Caldwell, were taken to the hospital in Boise, where it is said hopes are 
entertained for the older girl's recovery.
 
A blizzard, which probably hid the buggy from view as it crossed the track and 
prevented the girls from hearing the oncoming train, is believed to have been 
responsible for the accident.  The wind was blowing a gale and a heavy snow 
was falling at the time the accident occurred.  There is a clear view of both 
the wagon crossing and the track at the point where the accident happened, and 
but for the blinding storm it is not thought the accident would have occurred.
