A MARROW EscAPg.-F. S. Glandon,
liiving near Mccoy, Polk county, and a
hired man Saturday had most thrilling
Fexperience aud narrow escape from death
from collision with the west side up-bound
passenger train. Mr.. Glandon and his man
sometime after ten o'clock, hitched up the
work team to the farm wagon, and started
for Mccoy, not far distant. On the way
they had TO cross the west side in wheat
field. II appears that they did,not notice
the approach of the train, for when they
got on the track Il was so close upon them
that they had TO jump for their lives. The
cowcatcher struck the two horses and liter
ally disemboweled them both, and com.
plctely demolished the wagon How Mr..
Glandon and his man escaped without In
| jury is n mystery. Ii is said that the train
approached entirely without warning, and
that when the men discovered 1t, IL MAS so
near that they had not time TO save the
horses, which were valuabc.--.SfdfcsmaR
