The following May 8, 1914, Lake County Star article was found on page 1, column 4:

    LOWELL WRECK A MIRACLE

    Erhart Bixenman was in Lowell after the five passenger cars were wrecked there Tuesday forenoon, and says it was a miracle that there was no loss of life. Several were somewhat scratched and bruised and one man was severely hurt, but expected to be able to go home that evening. There were only about 50 on the train going north, nearly all boarding the cars at West Baden, and when the crash came the train was behind time and running at a great speed.
