| DIR. Daniel Sullivan had a narrow es
cape from a serious accident Monday
evening. He was just driving from
Anderson's stable and was crossing the
track near Smith & Cooley's when hi
was struck by box car that was being
pushed up the track. He saw the Cal
just before it hit him and struck his hors,
with the whip. The horse cleared, bu
the carriage was thrown over. The doc
tor was thrown out but struck beyont
the danger line and was not injured. Thu
back wheel of the carriage was badl!
broken. The train that hit him wal
composed of several box cars which thu
engine was pushing and number of fla
cars In the rear of the engine. 1t Il
thought that the trainmen had no RICH
to push such train over the crossing
without putting out flag man to lool
after things. The cars made but littl'
noise and under the circumstances 1t wa
a very fortunate escape.
