KILLED,

The Standard OIL company lost three
horses at Riverpoint today. also about
500 gallons OF kerosene.
Near the station is a large storage tank.
from which is distributed oil for that
district.
For this service a large sheet iron re-
ceptacle is used which is mounted on
wheels and drawn by three horses har-
messed abreast The storage tank is be-
tween the Pawtuxet valley and the New
England tracks.
At 7:45 o'clock this morning this dellv-
England track, and Immediately after IL
rested upon the rails the driver heard
the sharp whistling Of two locomotives,
which were about TO round the curve west
OF the station. He leaped from his seat
and rolled clear OF the tracks.
The train approaching was the Connec-
ticut fast express freight drawn by two
locomotives. IL was due at Riverpoint
AT o'clock and being nearly three hours
make up lost time. hence the train was
under great Roadway.
The horses strained TO get free, but
could not bulge the big load OF oil, and
IN an instant they were hit by the for
ward locomotives.
Two OF the animals were carried down
the track about 100 yards The other
was thrown aside. The first two were
killed outright the other was so mutt
lated that II had TO be shot
The forward end OF the big oil wagon
was torn open and 300 gallons OF oil went
to waste.
