KILLED TWO HORSES.
A railroad accident which caused some
excitement and which resulted In the
killing OF two horses and the injury OF the
driver at an early hour this morning at
the Pine street crossing OF the Consoli-
dated road. The affair took place very
shortly after 8 o'clock.
An ice wagon belonging 10 the Citizens
Ice Company. and driven by Fred Adams
who lives on North Main street, started
to cross the tracks at the crossing. The
driver had not the slightest idea there
was a train approaching. but his horses
had but just reached the track when be-
fore ne had time TO save himself there
was a crash. Both horses were carried
away from the wagon and one OF them,
big bay, was taken along on the forward
end OF the locomotive for distance or
several hundred feet. the body being man
gled and cut, while the entrails were scat
tered about on the track for the entire
distance.
The other horse was thrown for some
distance and so badly injured that rev
minutes later It was shot by OFFICER
Gregory.
Crowell. who was seated on the drivers
seat. was not seriously hurt. He was
taken To the Twin City Hospital, where
II was found that ne had suffered scalp
wound and there were several abTasiohs
on the body but none OF them were OF
serious character. Later he was taken 10
his home.
The train which caused the accident
was the second section OF the fast ireight
which carries mostly perishapie soous'
and was headed north. 1t makes no stops
between Providence and Boston and IL
was evidently going at high rate or
speed. Apparently the engineer did not
see the team until just the the coinslon
occurred for those who say the ACCIDENT
sav that there was no warning signals
until an instant before the team was
struck
There is a fiagman at this crossing and
he operates two gates. one at ei'ner si1e
OF the track II is agreed by himseif
and by ell who saw the accident that
neither OF these were lowered. The man
A B. Crowell, and he has been on duty
here for the past nine years lie mas
ALWAYS been faithful In the discharge or
his duties, and II Is said that this Is the
first time that he has ever had any acci-
dent here, In which he could be held re-
sponsible in the least degree.
He declares that he had no warning OF
the approach of the train. but this Is
accounted for by the fact that there are
no bell signals giving warning or traing
approaching o nthe freight tracks
II was n pretty narrow escape for MT
Adams and that he was no more severely
injured is matter of good luck more
than anything else.
