Harry Young aged IS, was instant
ly killed and his body was frightfully
mangled by trains at the Judson
crossing, about 2 miles south of Ar
lington village, early this morning.
Miss Martha Hulett, who was with
the young man in a carriage at the
time of the accident, escaped with a
few bruises and a severe shaking up.
Young and the young woman, who
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
jamin Hulett of North SALISBURY
were returning from a dance at the
home of Frank Sharkey in West Ar
lington. They arrived at the Jud-
son crossing about 2.30 o'clock this
morning. Just as they came in sight
of the crossing their horse became
frightened by the southbound sleep
er, running at least two hours late,
bolted and dashed directly into the
train.
Both the occupants were thrown
out, the horse went under the train
and was killed and the wagon was
smashed into small pieces
All that Immediately followed the
accident will never be known. Young
was badly hurt, but whether or not
his limbs were broken and he crawl
ed upon the track or staggered along
the rails after regaining conscious
mes will never be ascertained.
1t is certain that he man
aged in some way to travel at
Iaoct ON foot couth ~ tba or0eeiro,
where he was hit by the northbound
milk train, and his body was mangled
beyond recognition.
Some time after the collision at
the crossing Miss Hulett partially
regained her senses, but she was in
such dazed condition that she fail
ed to realize that there was dwell
ing but few rods away She wan
dered down the track to the house of
Newton Grant where she obtained as
sistance. DR. +. Il. Dean was sum
moned and found that the young wo-
man had sustained severe bruises
and was suffering from shock, but
that her injuries were not Of a seri-
Gus nature.
Miss Hulett, when she arrived al
the Grant house and became able to
recollect what had happened, stated
that Young had stopped the horse at
the crossing to allow the sleeper to
pass The horse became restless
and began to back. In order to
avoid being pushed into the ditch be-
side the road, Young hit the horse
with the whip. Then the animal
bolted and ran directly into one OF
the rear cars of the train.
Miss Hulett did not see Young a,
ter the collision with the train. She
was thrown into the ditch and be-
came unconscious. When she re-
gained her senses she endeavored to
climb over the fence but the exertion
was too great and she tainted away
Later she recovered and made her
way to the Grant home.
II is probable that Young was also
thrown into the ditch When he
came to himself he made his way
along the rails nearly hundred
yards to the point where he was hit
by the milk train. Considerable time
elapsed between the time that the
horse ran into the sleeper and the
VI Nht lTdlu AFTER the
sleeper as the northbound train had
to walt at North Bennington until
the sleeper had passed.
