A bad accident occurred Wednesday eve
ming at the crossing of the Michigan Gen.
trail tracks with Chapman st. near Fletcher
street. The tracks cross Chapman street at
an angle, and the west side OF the south
track is generally filled with box cars, OBJ
securing the view of the main track to any
one approaching the tracks from the south.
Two men living near Morrice, Mr.. Britton
and Mr.. Blakesey were driving north on
at I'll was hurrying in from the south.
The two occupants Of the carriage
which had its side curtains on, had
glanced out, but thinking the train not so
near started to cross the main track when
the engine struck the horse in the side,
swinging the carriage around against the
tender, carrying them along and finally
throwing the horse, carriage aud occupants
across the south track and down an en-
bankment. The occupants were not in
jured seriously but doubtless they would
not wish to repeat the experience. They
were landed full sixty feet from where the
train struck them, the tracks all around be-
ing strewn with handsful Of horse hair and
the broken splinters of the carriage which
is total wreck. The horse was injured so
badly that it had to be killed, and was re.
moved Thursday morning. The horse and
carriage belonged to Mr.. Britton. The inn
preston seems to prevail among those liv-
ing in that neghborhood that the speed of
this train should be reduced before reaching
this point, and that more adequate protec-
ton to the public should be placed at this
crossing. 1t will be remembered as the
scene of q similar but more serious accident
last summer, in which two ladies were in.
injured. Certainly some steps should be
taken to prevent such an accident from hap
pening again.
