upou some bands at IA woodward on the

mp the railroad track short distance to
certain point and be would strike the
right road. He followed their directions,
but just before he got to the right place,
a north bound freight train came thun-
dering along, and his horse becoming
paralyzed with fear, he WAS unable to get
him Oft the track in time to keep from be-
ing struck by the ,ngine. The horse was
instantly killed and Mr.. Hines narrowly
escaped instant death, having four ribs
broken and the small of his back horribly
bruised. He was taken on to Hazlchurst
