Bloody Collision of a Salt Lake Train
With Flock.

The San Bernardino Times-Index says:
The bloOdiest collision ever taking place
in this section occurred Saturday after
noon near Ontario, when Salt Lake
train dashed into a big drove of sheep,
killing and mangling over 40 of them.
The shepherd had wandered off and was
asleep beside the road when the acct
dent happened. As the great train
ploughed through the sheep their car
cases were thrown. torn and bleeding
to the sides of the track. others were
crushed beneath the wheels, and the
train presented CORY sight after it had
completed its deadly run.
