A Narrow Escape

A young man by the name of Law
renee Brown, who works for George
Powell. farmer living west of Dem
ison. narrowly escaped death, on his
way to town, on last Saturday even
ing.
The accident occurred, at what is
known as the McHenry crossing of
the Northwestern railroad about one
half mile west of Denison. The young
man was driving to town in single
buggy and while crossing the tracks
of the railroad. the local passenger
train from the west, due here at sew n
O'Clock, struck his buggy with such
force as to knock both rear wheels off
and pitched the young man for some
distance on to the ground. with the
result that he was slightly injured.
He claims there was no warning
given. by the approaching train. but
this claim the company disputes. The
accident was evidently the result of
carelessncss, on the part of the young
man. or the railroad company Or posi-
bly, of both.
The law requires a railroad com
pany when approaching a crossing
to give warning. and requires of
a traveller. about to cross the track.
to look and listen for coming trains.
and in case of distractions making
it dangerous. he is in addition re-
quired to stop his team before cross-
ing. If these precautions are OBJ
served there is little danger of acct
dents.
The young man is to be congratu-
lated that he escaped SO well and is
alive to tell all about how it occurred.
