ACCIDENT AT A CROSSING.
Street Car and Trailer Struck By a
Freight Train-One Passenger
Killed.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Hugh Curran,
a passenger, was killed and a dozen
men, women and children were
more or less seriously injured in a
collision tonight between a Western
Avenue electric street motor and
trailer and q Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad freight train, at the
Eighteenth street crossing. A mis-
take of the fagman at the crossing
was responsible for the accident.
The freight, which consisted of ~
cars with an engine at each end,
broke in two as it neared Western
avenue. The front part Of the train
passed the crossing and The fiagman
not noticing the remaing portion of
the train coming at full speed half a
block away, pulled up the gates and
gave the signal that the crossing was
clear. The street cars, which had
been waiting for the train to pass
started to cross the tracks and were
struck by the last part of the train.
Several passengers noticed the dam
ger III time to jump before the acct
dent, but the greater portion were
unable to get over. The fagman
and men in charge of the street car
| were blaced under arrest.
