the danger ahead, whstled and then put on
the brakes; but the train was under too
much Roadway, and the pilot struck the
horse, tn rowing him to one side and eaus-

hurt as to render him valueless, and he was
afterward shot. The buggy was badly
wrecked but fortunately for the occupants
they escaped with few bruises.
