Train at the Ashland Avenue
Crossing Friday Afternoon
WAS A WELL-KN0WN WOMAN
ia Which She Was Riding Was
Struck by a Fast Train.
Terribly MaDg1ed

QentS CndC mas occurred IN heuOSnd IN
many months happened just after
half-past O'Clock Friday afternoon
when Mrs. Mary Dougine, wife of
Col. ]. T. Dougine, who resides just
south of the city, was run down and
instantly killed by fast train on the
Northwestern road at the crossing
just south Of the city limits on Ash
land avenue. The well-known woman
was instantly killed and her remains
were terribly mangled. Mrs. Dou-
CINE was riding in a buggy at the
time of the accident and while the
buggy was demolished the horse
which had been attached to it escaped
without injury.
The remains were taken to the
Northwestern station after which
they we're removed to the Miller &
Cosgrove morgue, where an inquest is
being held this afternoon by Coroner
Andre.
Mrs. Dougine had left her home
only few minutes before the acct
dent happened and was hurrying to
the city to meet her daughter, who
was attending school at the Kenosha
High school. The train was coming
at rapid rate of speed and just as
the engineer rounded the curve to the
south of the crossing he noticed the
horse and buggy and began to blow
the whistle and clang the bell, but it
seems that Mrs. Dongine did not see
the train until she had driven on the
tracks. She was heard to cry out gust
as the train dashed by. Thesepilot of
the engine struck the vehicles cutting
it off from the horse and throwing it
high in the air. The horse was not
struck and when the train had been
stopped it was found grazing along
the road few feet from the mangled
remains Of Mrs. Dougine. The train
crew went back and found the body
of the woman nearly hundred and
fifty feet from the spot where the
vehicle had been struck. She was
already dead. The remains were
placed in the baggage car and brought
into Kenosha aud the coroner notified
of the tragedy.
Col. Dougine was at his home when
notified of the accident and he was
all but Frustrated by the terrible
news. There was an affecting sscene
| when the Colonel broke the news to
| his daughter at the morgue few
minutes later.
| Members of the family Remained al
| the morgue during the entire evening
watching beside the dead and the re.
mains were removed to the home
south of the city this afternoon.
Passengers on the train and emem
bers of the train crew claim that they
can not account for the killingaof the
| woman. They assert that the whistle
was sounded in time to allow her tc
stop her horse, but that she seemed
not to have heard. 1t is thought pos.
sible that some part of the harness
broke just as the horse was crossing
the track and that Mrs. Dougine was
not able to manage the horse.
