HORSES KILLED BY TRAIN

E1ONSES NILLED bI lNAlN
A Great Northern freight train
late last week practically wiped
out a herd of five horses belonging
to Frank Himsl Avon township
farmer, when the horses ran onto
the tracks at the Collegeville cross
ing. Four of the horses were kill
ed. The legs of three of the
horses were cut off and another
limped back to the farm on three
legs, but it was necessary to shoot
the animal. Mr.. Himsl owned
one Of the finest Belgian teams in
Stearns county and both colts
were killed. Mr.. Himsl had let
the horses out to water at spring
on the farm and they went through
an open gate onto the road about
40 rods from the farm house. He
pursued them up the road and had
turned them back when beyond
Collegeville. Instead of going
over the tracks at the crossing, the
horses turned off the road and fol-
lowed up the railroad tracks for a
few rods when they were struck
by the train. The legs of three of
the horses were cut clearly off
