Team Killed by Train.

A wagon and team belonging to the Paragould Co-Operatiye Cream cry were struck by the southbound Cotton Belt passenger train last night, at S:30 o'clock, one mule being instantly killed, &he wagon demolished and the other mule so badly injured that it will have to be killed. E. D. Woodburn, man. ager of the creamery, had driven the team to the ice factory to place some goods in cold storage, leaving the team between the Cotton Belt tracks and the building. When left alone the team started away and before going fifty feet, lodged the wagon against a car standing on the siding, with the mules and front half of the wagon on the main line. The passenger train due at that time struck the wagon and team, hurling them partly clear of the track, crushing the wagon and one mule between the train and the standing car. MT Woodburn's loss is probably $450 or $500.
