Driver Saw Freight but Failed to Perceive Approach of Passenger.
Train Leaves But The Reins In His Hands.
Buggy and Man Escape Carnage but Horse id Smashed to Flinders by Passing Flier.
Driving home from Waukegan at midnight last night Lee Metzendorf, of Grayslake, a barber, saw that there was a freight train along the Gurnee crossing on Grand avenue and stopped the rig that he was driving.
However, not perceiving the approach of a passenger train he drove the horse not taken up with the freight and the horse was struck and killed in his tracks. The buggy escaped injury as did the man, but the horse was annihilated and with it the harness.
