DIED m HOMEMADE AUTO
An Ingenious Connecticut Farmer
Killed by a Train.
samuel casner's Machine Made So Much
Noise That He Failed 10 Hear
the Locomotive.

New Haven, Conn. Man has seldom
contrived his own death more pitifully
through the triumph of his own efforts,
aimed in far different direction. than
has Samuel Casnes, a farmland living
near here. After weeks Of study and
patient labor, to which he gave all his
spare time and all his spare money,
Casner built for himself homemade
automobile. He was taking his FIRST
spin in it when, in running over a level
crossing, he was caught by the Pitts
field Express. He was killed instantly.
his mangled body being thrown more
than 200 feet His automobile was
ground into scrap iron.
Casner was on his way to see his
father, who lives only hale a mile away
from the scene Of the accident. Word
of the disaster reached the old man,
and he walked down to the crossing
to learn the details without any fore
warning of the fact that his son was
the automobilist who had been killed.
He was Frustrated by the shock of the
truth.
The building of an automobile had
long been a pet project in Casner's
mind. He was forty years old, and
though he had been a farm hand all his
life, being in the employ of Yelling
ton Smith, of Orange, at the time Of
his death, he had taught himself a good
deal OF the rudiments Of mechanics
and was OF a highly ambitious bent,
Fills friends laughed at him when he
first told them he thought it would
be easy enough to build an automobile
himself if he bought a few of the es-
sential parts, but he stuck to his idea,
and, buying here and there as he could
afford it, turning his own wheels and
shafts ami hammering cut his own
frame, he at last was ready for the
task Of putting it together.
Put it together he did, but it was far
from reaching his ideal OF a smoothly
running machine. His motive power
was all right, but the roughly made
joints and cranks would not work
tremendously. The automobile would
go at fair rate, but it made such a
Gathering and banging that Casner
himself admitted he could not hear
himself think None the less he had
succeeded in building his automobile,
and he set out from his home in Or
ange to take his first real spin and
show his work to his father at Tyler
City
Farmers all along the road came out
to see what was the matter as he
crashed ard ratified by. but Casner was
too intent on running his machine to
pay any attention to their chatting re-
marks III spite of the noise it car
ried him without niSlan ne far as tla
railway crossing. just outside Tyler
City. There the railway swings around
a sharp curve, and Casner, wrapped up
in the enthusiasm of his own creation,
reached it just IS the Pittsheld Express
was rushing down. The din of his own
machine prevented him from hearing
the roar Of the approaching train or
the shrill whistle Of warning, and the
engine caught him as the Inflated auto
mobile was Squarely across the tracks.
He was dead when picked up from a
cluster of bushes 200 feet away. He
leaves a wife and four children.
