WNoNA, Mimi, Nov. 26.-About O'Clock
last evening farmer named Joseph Brabetz,
a resident of Wisooy, this county, with his
wife, was driving across the track of the Mil.
waukee & st. Paul railroad, near this city,
when the wagon was struck by passenger
train. The wagon was cut in two, and Brabetz
was instantly killed and his wife thrown some
thirty-fve feet, causing injuries which will
probably prove fatal, as the woman was within
4 month of her confinement. No blame is at
tached to the train men. The train ran a con-
siderable distance beyond the scene of the dis.
aster, but was quickly backed up and the un-
fortunates conveyed to a farm house near by,
where they were cared for in the best manner
possible. Meanwhile, the train returned to
Winoua and came back with q surgeon and the
companys agent at that place, who remained
there ministering to the wants of the wounded
woman. .. - .,-..
