Show MARVELOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH. On Wednesday last a man named ??, from Gunnison, Sanpete County, was driving a wagon across the Denver & Rio Grande Western track, at the point where it passes over the road near Springville. Besides himself three ladies were in the wagon. The vehicle being covered and as it was turning the driver could not see on either side of him. The engine of a train struck the outfit between the horses and the wagon and carried, team, vehicle and inmates a distance of 112 feet. The horses were injured so they had to be killed, the harness cut to pieces and the wagon crushed into fragments. Marvelous as it may appear all four of the people escaped without a scratch. The whistle of the train was not blown, and as the wonderful affair occurred on the traveled wagon road the railroad company will doubtless make good the damage.-News. |
