ISHED.

Cyrus Smith, who resides north of
this city, narrowly escaped serious in
jury yesterday afternoon ABOUT 4:3O
o'clock when his Ford automobile was
struck and Knocked over on its side
by a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
freight train at the Washington street
crossing. That Smith was not killed
is due to the fact that the train was
not travelling at a fast rate Of speed
Smith was going west on Washing
ton street and as he was about to
cross the railroad tracks his motor
went dead" The freight train going
north had just left a siding and was
travelling very slowly. The driver
had no time to start the anto again
and was forced TO jump to safety
The front gondola on the train
iammed into the Ford, pushing it
along the tracks for several feet ana
then turning it over. The engineer
and the fireman on the engine saw
the ear and brought the train to a
stop Investigation showed that Smith
had jumped from the machine when
he saw the train was going to run into
him.
One wheel was torn off and the lcf.
side of the auto was badly damaged.
