FRANK HAHN FAMILY KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Train Hits Automobile Near Payette

One of the most terrible accidents that ever happened to a family in Idaho 
was that which befell the Hahns Monday morning at Wood's spur crossing near 
Payette.

An automoble containing six members of the Frank Hahn family of Council was 
hit by the pony train on the Oregon Short Line. The dead are F. Hahn, Mrs. 
Hahn, Joe Hahn, Elsie Hahn and Frank Hahn, Jr., Alice Hahn is the only 
survivor of the fatal ride.

They were on their way from Boise where they had been visiting relatives to 
their home in Cambridge. The auto was hit squarely by the locomotive and 
some of the victims were hurled more than 50 feet. The engineer thinks the 
auto engine went dead as the car was crossing and stopped on the track.

Mr. Hahn was a well known stockman of the Council valley, where he had 
resided for many years.
