HORSE BALKED ON TRACK.
A YOUNG MAN HADssaaTO JUMP TO
SAVE HIS LIFE.
4 Fatal Railroad Accident Narrowly
AYerted at a Crossing
in Dawson.

Mr., Bachman Rauch came near being
the victim of a serious, if net fatal. rail
road accident Thursday afternoon.
A leap from the back of the horse he
was riding is probably all that saved his
life.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
Mr.. Rauch geared up his horse and start
eel to field to do some blowing. The
animal moved along all right until the
Georgia and Alabama railroad crossing
on Lee street was reached, when it baIk-
ed in the middle of the track and refus-
ed to move. While Mr.. Rauch was trv-
ing to persuade the obstinate animal TO
90 forward the westbound train came
numbering up the track from Albany.
But the animal held its ground, seem
lngly unheeding the danger, and Mr..
Rauch remained on its back trying to
urge 1t forward. When the engine was
almost on them Mr.. Rauch jumped to
save his life, and as he went one way the
morse went the other, the train passing
between them.
The COW catcher caught Mr.. Rauch's
nat and carried it two hundred Yards.
while part of the gearing that was on
the horse was carried considerable dis
lance down the track by the engine.
The escape was narrow and thrilling
one, and Mr.. Rauch will hardly attempt
to cross another railroad track at train
time on balky horse.
