The old people were driving alongside
the railroad towards Wahiawa mill
when one of the locomotives came
along at lively speed, and when
about in line with the cart the horse
was frightened and, being a big. pow.
crful animal soon became unmanage

the engine, II swung around and In a
wink was on the track with the locomo
tive fore.wheels over its left foot.
When the engine backed off, the cart
was found pretty well demolished. The
harness was torn to pieces, and the
occupants narrowly escaped being Sc
riously or fatally hurt. Worst of ali

skin held II suspended. and there were
also ugly gashes elsewhere. Engineer
Clemente reversed and braked but was
too late, as the horse was not expected
to make for the track. Mr.. Common

the life of about as fine a specimen OF
horse flesh as ever breathed.
