None Injured in Railroad Accident
Another railroad crossing accident
was added to the already large num-
ber enrolled at this point when
Ford truck owned by Simpson & Son
and driven by the son was crossing
the Center street crossing OF lhe
R. R. Co. last Friday night apouI
1O:30 o'clock. Freight extra NO. oIo9
in charge of Conductor J. w. II. Han
and Engineer W. T. Argo-the extra
was pushing a draft of cars into a
siding and Conductor Hall was rid
ing on top of the of the leading car.
Simpson conducts a grocery store
adjoining the railroad property on
the east side of the tracks at this
point and it is supposed he was on
his way home when the accident oc-
CURED.
The conductor claims he yelled to
the motorist but it is supposed tnat
the noise of the motor drowned out
the warning.
It is considered a miracle that
Simpson escaped injuries and his
truck was only slightly damaged.
The crossing is protected through
out the day by watchman but he
goes off duty at p. m.
1t is very likely that Conductor
Hall will suffer reprimand be-
cause of the position he was riding
on the train. According to informa-
tion secured, backing train is re-
quired to have an employee on the
rear.
