According to Patrolman F. L. Snarp, of lleber, the accident near the station and the automobile was dragged 750 feet from point of impact. The car caught fire and was completely demolished, he said. Clarence Byard, Salt Lake City, motorman on the train, which was traveling north, told Patrolman Sharp that he saw the Sabin auto, traveling south, approach the crossing, and that the car slowed down and seemed to have come to a stop, just before reaching the crossing. However, the car started up again and ran into the path of the train. Apparently neither Mr. Sabin, driver of the car, nor his wife, saw the approaching train, although Patrolman Sharp said there is nothing to obstruct the view at the crossing and that it is possible to see in either direction several hundred feet. Assisting Mr. Sharp in the investigation were Owen Beardall, Springville, and Charles Allred of Spanish Fork, both members of the highway patrol. He said the investigation was thorough. Owen LaVern Sabin was born Aug. 25, 1902, in Payson, and had been a farmer and miner for many years. He had served for the past six years as a mail carrier and electrician in Salem, and prior to that time had been a miner and farmer. His wife, Mrs. Estella Maude Hatfield Sabin, was born in Oct. 6, 1905, a daughter of Joseph and Sarah Lewis Hatfield. Surviving Mr. and Mrs. Sabin are their three children, Carl, Lynn, and Mary Deon Sabin, all of Salem. Mr. Sabin is also survived by his father, David Sabin, Payson; his stepmother, Ella R. Sabin, a brother, Victor P. Sabin, of Payson; two sisters, Mrs. Ruby Richardson, Payson, and Mrs. Joanna Kelly, living in Panama. Surviving Mrs. Sabin besides her three children are a sister, Mrs. Mable Jane Hiatt, Garfield; three brothers, Lewis J.
