Struck bv a Train,

John Jones, of North Hyde Park ave-
ruc. had quite an exciting experience
with IL spirited horse, while returning
home from IL business trip to Taylor on
Saturday evening.
The trip to Taylor was made in
safety, but on returning the cold, crisp
air placed more than usual life into the
high-spirited horse and he became very
hard to manage. The young mans
hands became cold. and the horse rap
idly gained speed until it was quite be-
yond control.
AT the Oak street crossing the outfit
.ollided with a passing engine, and as
Il result the young man was thrown out
and the cutter was badly damaged.
Fortunately. the driver escaped with a
few cuts, and after the horse and re-
lnander Of the cutter We're captured,
