Train strikes Buggy.
Just as he rounded a curve near Muir
dock the engineer of the Rock Island train
from Omaha saw a buggy on the track.
He just got one glimpse of it before the
engine struck it. The train was backed
UP and the remains OF a buggy were found,
part on the engine pilot and part near
the track. No people or horses were in
sight and the railroad men are at a loss
to know whether II was an empty buggy
someone had left on the crossing or
whether II was occupied when the train
struck 1t and the occupants and the team
departed before the train could be stopped
and backed up.
