tracks in buggy. In moment the
train, rushing along at speed OF twenty
miles an hour was upon them. The pilot
of the locomotive caught the front part
OF the rear wheel and hurled the vehicle
and it's occupants distance of thirty
feet. The horse, literally stripped of his
harness, stood stock still for few mo-
ments, but fed toward the city as the
train was brought to stop, and the |
passengers rushed to pick up the almost |
lifeless bodies that were lying near the |
rails some distance beyond |
the railroad tracks. Mr. Green attempted |
to raise himself up but fell back power
less as friends reached him. He was |
suffering untold tortures and was per-
fectly conscious. Blankets and water |
were secured by Mr. Farnsworth and as
gently as possible both were lifted and |
carried to one of the coaches. The train |
reached the depot few minutes later |
Two u Elk. wagons were at the station
G G Crippen, Peter L Mouat and DR.
Edden lifted Mrs Green into one of these |
wagons and started for her home at 100 !
Pleasant street. They had not proceed
ed block when she breathed her last
Mr. Green survived his wife little over
two hours. He was taken to the Palmer
hospital and Drs Palmer, Woods and |
Pember worked over him until the last. !
They found that the plevis bone had |
been crushed and number of ribs frac- |
tured. There were some bad scalp
wounds but the skull was not broken.
Mr. Green remained conscious almost to
the last and was in terrible agony much |
of the time.
