Team Killed By Engine
Close CallFor Ross Man

The east bound local, No. 6,
killed farmers fine team OF
horses at a private crossing a
mile east OF Ross Thursday. One
of the horses was carried OH the
tender sof the engine until the
train came to a standstill. The
engineer noticed man attempt
ing to cross the track just in
front OF his train, but thot the
fellow knew the train WAS com
ing. The horses walked onto
the track just in time to be
caught squarely, by the engine.
The man was on a load of hay
and did not get hurt in the least.
The weather was very stormy
which accounts for the accident.
Since writing the above, the
Independent learns that Albert
Martin, the Ross liveryman, was
the man whose team was killed.
Mr.. Martin was crossing a switch
east of town, and knew that the
train was due about that time.
He looked down the track, but
not seeing the train, started
across, and his horse were on
the middle of the track with the
train not over two rods away.
They were caught by the engine,
the wagon overturned and Mar
tin found himself out on the open
prairie, some rods awsy. 1t is a
wonder he was not killed, but he
was hurt but a, very little. He
landed on his feet He had bot
the team recently for $500.
