stantly killed. This crossing is pro-
tected by an automatic signal of the
latest type which has /been in opera
ton about one month. The engine
whistled for the crossing and the
bell was ringing.
Mrs. Flood drove directly onto the
track in front of the approa ching
engine and apparently did not stop
TO look or listen or take any, note of
the train.
THE engineer states that the first
re knew of the accident was when
re saw the horse on the front end Of
the pilot. Although the weather con
c1tlon was cloudy and a little fogev

reasonably clear vision. Conductor

He shed his hat; he shed his shoes;
he shed a tear or two.
He also shed his Overalls (they cost

And casting both his wooden socks

He filed his lungs with lots Of

And when ne reappeared he held the
