Narrow Escape from
Serious Accident

A bad accident was narrowly
averted about 1.30 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon at the railroad crossing on
Main street, when the road machine
Just escaped collision with an out
bound freight train. The road ma
chine with four horses attached
and driven by Frank Keene and op-
Grated by Eugene Haskell was going
down the street and the forward
horses were already on the track
when the attention of the two men
was attracted by man coming to-
ward them in a team. who was
shouting and gesticulating to them.
Turning quickly to ascertain the
cause they saw the freight train al
tender for some reason was not in
his accustomed place. The road ma
chine had made so much noise that
neither Mr.. Keene or Mr.. Haskell
had heard the approaching train.
Mr.. Keene Swung his forward paiR of
horses from the track just as the
engine swept by.
The nearness of the horses to
| the train badly frightened them and
they plunged up q steep bank into
the schoolyard of the Cd and Sd
grades which fortunately was clear
of children as the afternoon session
was just begun. The road machine
upset, and Mr.. Haskell was thrown
to the ground. He was unin5ured OK
cept that one leg was badly scraped
from the thigh to the knee.
Extinsuish Blaze in Shoe Factory
Owing to it's early discovery and
the quick work on the part of some
of the employees, small blaze at the
shoe factory was eXtinguished early
FNhnrcdav wi
out the fire department. The men in
the lasting room are accustomed to
go to work between $50 and 6 o'clock
each morning. Several of the men
had already gone upstairs to work,
but when Wallace NVitham reached
the stairway to go to his work he
found one side all afire and the
flames spreading rapidly. Hand ex-
tinguishers were used and quick ac-
ton on the part of Mr.. Witham, w.
G. Soule, the day fireman of the fac
tory and Ed Cogswell, night watch
man, prevented much damage from
being done. 1t is thought that an ac-
, cidental spark from the pipe of one
of the lasters landing in some waste
in an enclosed part of the staircase
may have caused the blaze. The
damage was very slight.
