A Close Call,

Friday about noon street car pass
ing down Front street came near to be-
ing struck by a train on the Butler
street crossing. The watchman had
lowered the gates and the car was ap-
preaching at slow speed as the q. &
o. train was backing out of the depot,
There were several persons in the car
and they remained cool and did not
compllcate matters by getting excited
and stampeding for the exit
The brakes refused to work. and the
car ran through the gates and onto the
railroad track. The motorman revers-
ed the current and brakeman on the
train who saw the danger slgnaled the
engineer to stop. The train came to a
stop and the electric car backed off
the track without anyone being injur-
ed. 1t was reported that Mrs. Frank
Shaw injured one knee somewhat in
getting off the street car, but nothing
serious.
