got onto the railroad track at Richard
sons mills, about three miles below
Montpelier, yesterday morning just as
the train from the south, due in Mont

the train. On going back, the trainmen
found one horse SO badly injured it may
not live, not because the train struck it,
however, for it was evident the pilot of
the locomotive had> thrown the sled
against the animal. The harness was
not broken, but the sled was badly
damaged. The team belonged to w. j.
Royce, who left it standing in front of
the mill, as he had often done before
Something started the horses and they
ran into field and headed for the track
Just as the train came in. The second
horse was injured only on one leg, which
is badly swollen. The worst injured ami
NAL was brought to Montpelier to be
cared for by a veterinarian.
