AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Men Killed on the
Woodburn.
Railroad at
Two men were killed at Woodburn,
Wednesday, by an extra freight train
about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon
They were Frank Davis and Charles
Darlington. Mr. Darlington was in
stantly killed, Mr. Davis lingered
unconscious all the time till 7 p. m.
when he died. Both were married men,
Mr. Darlington having a wife and five
children, Mr. Davis a wife, ami one
son.
The circumstances, as related by
Coroner Jas. M. Btjard, are as follows:
Mr. Davis, who had recently purchas
ed the Doug Lewis farm and lives on it,
has been building a house and was in
town with the carpenter, Mr. Darling
ton, to get something thfiy needed.
Near~2:30 they were starting.home in
the wagon, both on a seat near the
center of the wagon, and before they
were out of town. A long crib belonging
.4,
rlulburd & Co. Klevat'^t
sr.?*,'1' lot- j.-, the north side of
track and the road turns sharply across
the railway track at the end o/ the
crib, making a crossing inside the town.
Five persons were witnesses of what
occurred. As the wagon reached the
end of the crib and turned, the extra
freight, going 20 miles an hour came
up. It rang the bell twice. The team,
surged across the track, and got away
unhurt, but the cow catcher struck the
wagon, piling up the front axle and the
two men on it. The remainder ot the
wagon came on ahead of the train and
was dropped six rods further on. The
horrified engineer stopped as quickly
as he could, about a quarter of a mile
from the crossing. Mr. Darlington was
found to be dead, before taking him off
the cowcatcher. Two severe wounds
were found,lone on the temple and one
near the base of the ear. Mr. Davis
was breathing but unconscious. His
worst injury was at the base of the
skull, but his face was bloody from a
wound in the forehead. It was seen
from the first that he could not recover,
although physicians were instantly
summoned and everything 'possible
done to succor him.
The coroner was telephoned and he,
County Attorney Touet and Mr. Leave),
who is Mr. Davis' brother-in-law went
down on No. 4. It was_ decided no in
quest was necessary. The engineer
could not see the wagon coming, nor
could the men in it see the train coining
west, hence no blame can attach to the
engineer, if they heard the train they
evidently miscalculated its position.
Four men and a woman witnessed it,
Joe Moorehouse and his son being close
at hand. A'r. Moorehouse was at the
hand car house and the son mowing
weeds on the track close by. The sight
of the wagon fiying into splinters and
being carried dragging by the engine
caused both of them to run farther from
the track lest it should strike them.
A man and his wife, whose names are
not learned, were crossing the bridge
south of the railway and saw the whole
accident. The man got out and caught
the team which was not scratched even.
The family of Mr. Darlington had not
reached the scene until after the cor
oner's party arrived. As soon ab they
came, the coroner turned the body over
to their care, having ascertained that
no inquest was.necessary.
These ate all the particulars available
at present.
It is needless to say the community is
shocked by the tfarrible accident. The
men are both reputed as valued and re
spected citizens. Their bereaved fam
ilies are receiving all the t^elp and sym
pathy that can be given but nothing can
relieve their distress.
It is a little remarkable that three men
hiaye been killed on the railroad cross
ings in this county in th^ past two
weeks.—Osceola Democrat.
