CANT homes scattered over the district,
yet the cyclone did not touch very many
Of these, but most went for the houses of

What came near being IL terrible ac-
cident happened last Saturday. a gen
tleman, and lady in IL jump-scaI carriage
to which horse and mule were attached
came driving up Main street toward the
West End. When they neared the Deer
Park Hotel Il construction train on the
b. and o. was nearing the crossing, run
ming north. The flagman was vigorously
waving the danger signal "a red flag, but
the attention of the driver Of the vehicle
seemed drawn in another direction, and
for few moments it looked as though
the team would certainly go on the track.
Those standing about the Deer Park
cried out Justify to the man, and hearing
them and seeing the train approaching,
about the same moment, he quickly
drew the team around sharply to the
side of the hotel, thereby preventing
sacrifice of life. And again at the p. w.
and b. station on Wednesday morning,
another accident was prevented by the
promptness of a gentleman. who display
ed rare presence of mind in snatchng
two children from in front of an incom-
ing train. The party consisted of Il lady
and two children. They attempted to
cross the tracks to take the S:42 Il. IN.
train north, but they did not start early
enough The lady was hampercd with Il
bundle, and the little children were al
lowed to get along the best they could.
The engineer, seeing the imminent peril
of the party, applied the air brakes Wig
orously, and by doing 50 materially as
sisted in saving two lives-thc children.
