Fatal Crossing Accident

Mrs. Alice POcOck Daniels Killed at the
paniOu nearly Frightened TO Death
The Horse Dragged Down the Tracks
by the Train.
The usual serenity OF Sunday after
noon was abruptly changed to an hour
of great excitement by the news of a
terrible accident at the Portland street
crossing, by which one girl lost her life,
another was terribly frightened, and the
horse almost instantly killed by being
dragged along the tracks by the train.
Mary Hyde, who works on the Tobias
Lystsr farm on one of the Waterford
roads, was entertaining Mrs. Alice Po-
cock Daniels, and after dinner started to
bring her to her home in Fairbanks vii
lage. They were driving fve-year.old
colt owned by Mr.. Smith also employed
by Mr.. Lyster. AS they approached the
Portland street crossing they stopped
the horse, the gateman lowered the gates
and passers by had no thought of what
was to happen. Just what did happen
no one can tell, as events occurred faster
than the eye could follow them.
AS the "air line" going south approach
ed the crossing the horse became wildly
excited and dashed through the gate,
breaking one end of it. Miss Hyde drop.
ped the reins and either fell out or rolled
out into the deep snow beside the track.
Mrs. Daniels could not extricate herself
from the sleigh and was struck by the
engine and hurled back upon the switch
where her body was found almost un-
recognizable with her skull crushed in,
| both shoulders and one ankle broken and
an ugly cash on the calf Of her leg. Her
death must have been instantaneous.
The horse was dragged down the tracks
until he was frightiully mangled and kill
ed. The body of Mrs. Daniels was taken
into c. A. Calderwood's undertaking
rooms and Miss Hyde was taken to Har'
ry Bartlett's house and is now at the ST.
| Johnsbury Hospital.
Miss Hyde was naturally terribly
frightened by her experience and it is al
most miraculous that she escaped with
her life. A careful examination by the
doctors did not show that she received
any injuries and it is believed that hel
hysterical condition was the natural re
suit of her terrible experience. She was
better yesterday and it is expected sht
will come out of her troubles all right.
Mrs. Daniels was the daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. Stephen Pocock OF Fair banks
village. She was married few years
ago to Fred Daniels who does not live
here now and leaves young son. Th'
family have the sympathy Of many
friends in the loss of their daughter il
this terrible accident.
