4 SHOCKING ACCIDENT

i Man and Four Year Old Boy Instantly
Killed and 4nOtlser Boy dangerously In
.jureG 6y the Cars
One of the most horrible and slckening
railroad accidents which the reporter is
called upon to describe occurred on the
East side yesterday. As the l2:55 train
on the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
road was laundering along the track on
East side towards the junction, an aged
farmer accompanied by two small boys,
aged respectively about 4 and 6 years,
drove. all unconscious Ut impending dan
GER. upon the crossing at the junction Of
the railroad track and Central avenue,
Just in front Of Smith, Carter
& Co.'S planning mill The loco
motive collided with the horse, throwing
him high into the air and hurting the
buggy, IN which sat the fated man and
bows, around violently against the side of
the train. The man was caught beneath
the ponderous truck of the baggage car,
and dragged the distance Of one car down
the track. One poor little boy, the young
er of the two, was flung with great force
against the side Of the car and then fell
beneath the relentless wheels. The other
boy was also thrown against the car, but
escaped being run over. Both the man
and the Youngest child were instantly
killed. They were frightfully crush
ed and mangled. The mans
head was an almost shapelesS mass. His
brains were strewn along the ground
where he had been so cruelty dragged
= The little boys limbs were nangled into
mass of bruised flesh and broken bones,
and he must have died instantly.
The other boy was picked up in a
bruised and unconscious condition and
taken to neighboring house, where the
kindest treatment and the best medical
aid was secured. His e6ndition is con-
sidered very precarieus.= The physician
has as vet been unable determine the
extent of the INJURIES. He was still an-
conscious last evening. Y-rfi s,..,s 7.--ea-Az,
The remains of the man and boy
were placed in box and taken
to Warmers undertaking rooms. Coroner
Fairbairn was promptly notified of the
fatality, and will hold an inquest at s
O'Clock this morning. The horse was
killed and the buggy demolished.
An eve witness informed GLOBE re-
porter that the unfortunate man was fol-
lowing almost Immediately behind anoth-
er wagon, which also had very narrow
escape from a collision. When struck
the horse stood diagonally across the
track. - .,.irs rs i'1 80
On either side of the track at this
crossing are huge piles of lumber, SO that
it would be impossible for anyone to SET
the cars before stepping upon the track
Tho poico of the nlaninQ mill drowned
the sound of the locomotive bell.
There seems to be a great diversity Of
opinion as to the rate Of speed at which
the train was running at the time of the
accident. The train men aver that they
