X. NJ. Fincher Struck by

His Buggy Was Smashed

Hung Suspended From
Engine Till Rescued.

Mr.. r. NJ. Fincher, one of Union
county's best citizens, and resident
of the Meador-W Woods section of the
county miraculously escaped death at
noon Monday. He was driving into
Union and as he was crossing the
Southern track at the crossing Just
above the city limits, train No. az
smashed into him. The buggy was
torn to scraps, the horse instantly
killed and Mr.. Fincher was hurled up
in the air and his clothing caught by
the engine, hanging suspended in that
precarious situation until the train
was stopped and he was rescued. He
was badly dazed from the shock and
was bruised somewhat, but there was
no broken skin on his body and, so
far as could be learned, no broken
bones. That he was not instantly
killed was a miracle. He was given
medical attention and examination,
and was then carried to the home of
his sister here. Mr. Fincher is ~
years old. If no bad internal injuries
develop he will soon be all right
