RACB WITH TRAIN, THE HORSE Is DEAD

NEWBURG, N. Y, Sept. 8.-An ex-
traordinary race between a fine bay
horse and afast freight train, which
terminated in the death of the animal,
was witnessed yesterday afternoon by
a crowd of people waiting at the Fish
kill Landing station for New YorA
Central train.
The horse which was attached to a
light express wagon, took fright du-
ring the absence of the driver, and
dashed down the track just in front of
a fast freight.
For a considerable distance the ties
are filled in with cinders, and over the
springy roadbed the horse galloped at
great speed, gaining on the heav train.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-08

For a time every body was sure the,
horse would distance the locomotive
and come out of the contest unharmed.
At point in the road where the
tracks run through rock gorge the
ties are high above the filling. Over
this insecure footing the horse strug-
gledgamely for some distance, still
maintaining his lead, but when almost
through the cut his hoofs caught be-
tween tbs ties, throwing him to the
ground.
The next instant the heavy locomo-
tive struck him, crushing him to death
against the rocky side of the cut The
wagon was ground to bits and several
pieces of expressage it contained were
demolished.
