RAN IN FRONT OF The TRAIN
Horses Had Been Tied In Front of
House on First Avenue-Ran Away
and Dashed Onto Tracks - Pas
sengers Badly Shaken Up.

The tracks of the Chicago, Milwau
kee and North Shore Electric Railway
Company were smeared with blood for
a distance of two blocks from the Salem
avenue crossing, south, on the after
noon of Memorial Day when the limit
ed train which left Kenosha for the
south at $3.50 struck and instantly
killed team of runaway horses. The
car was running at rate of probably
twenty miles an hour when the horses
ran on the track directly in front of it.
The horses were hitched to a surrey,
but there were no people in the vehicle.
The surrey was tossed to the side of the
road mass of wreckage.
The train was crowded one and the
impact of the collision threw the pas
sengers from their seats out into the
aisles of the cars, but not one them sus-
tanned any serious injuries. Several of
the passengers were slightly bruised
The team was the property of the

ming toward the railway tracks on

ran into the tracks and he was unable
to apply the brakes and stop his car
before the crash came. The horses
were instantly killed ano portions of
their flesh was scattered along the
tracks for two blocks.
Passengers aboard the train declared

the motorman to have stopped his car
in time to save the lives of the horses.
The team is declared to have been
valued at over six hundred dollars
