         MRS. CLARA BROWN DYING IN OREGON
Seriously Injured in Elk Excursion Wreck
        DAUGHTER OF CRAWFORD
Father Left for Portland Yesterday Afternoon
   William D. Crawford, who lives on South Emporia
avenue, received a telegram yesterday afternoon
that his daughter, Mrs. C. B. Brown, a Sedgwick
county girl, was dying at Portland, Oregon, as
a result of injuries received in the wreck of the
Elk excursion train between that city and Olympia
Saturday. The communication came from Dr. C. B.
Brown and stated that Mrs. Brown was sinking
rapidly, and that her physicians had said that
there were no hopes for her. Mr. Crawford left
for Portland on the first train, going on the
5:20 Santa Fe passenger yesterday afternoon, and
will reach his daughter after being three nights
on the road.
   The first that Mr. Crawford knew of the accident
to his daughter was learned from the account of the
wreck in Sunday's Eagle, in which Mrs. Brown was
numbered among the seriously injured, it being
stated that her arm had been severed from her
body and that she was otherwise seriously injured.
Soon after this Mr. Crawford received word from
his son-in-law that she was hurt, but did not 
realize how seriously until he received the second
message yesterday afternoon.
   Mr. Crawford is one of the old timers in this
county and lived in the Carlton district south of
the city when his daughter, Clara D. Crawford, 
was born, about twenty-six years ago. She was
educated and reared to young womanhood in this 
county and has a number of friends who will hear
of her condition with sorrow. Several years ago
she went to Oregon where she has relatives and
soon after was married to Dr. C. B. Brown of
Portland, where she has lived ever since. Mr.
Crawford sold his farm in the Carlton district
about two months ago, bought the Hiram Norcross
residence, 832 North Lawrence, and moved to this
city to live. He is staying on South Emporia
avenue until his new home is vacated.
