A well-to- do farmer in this county
and man of large public experience
asserts that one-half cent per mile,
per ton for carrying freight on the
railroads of the state, in quantities of
not less than one ton, is all that
ought to be allowed by law, and that
all rates should be alike for one or a
million miles, per mile.
There came near being serious
accident on d., G.. H. and M. railway
near Vernon on Monday. A farmer
drawing logs got stuck on the track,
about the time for the morning train
from Detroit to pass. Not being
able TO get his team to start the load,
he deliberately unhitched his horses
from the sled, hitched them to the
fence, folded his arms and with his
son stood apparently paralized until
the train came rushing along down
the grade 80 miles an hour, striking
the logs and clearing the track with no
serious damage except to the engine.
The engineer jumped, after putting
on the air brakes, and reversing the
engine. The fireman also jumped,
and landed in the water to his waist.
We do not learn that either OF them
were badly injured. The cars did not
leave the track and the train was de-
layed only short time remarka-
bly, fortunate escape from serious
accident.
