BUGGY IS CAUGHT

Mrs Charles Itliuon Thrown OutSustains Severely Sprained Hack

Hut IM Saved

Mil KHUON AND GATKTENDERJ

A cut of freight cars struck a buggy In which Charles Khuon and wifean aged couple residing on WestBroadway just beyond Twentyfifthstreet a< re riding this morning atCCO oclock at llth and Broad ¬

way and Mrs Khuon Is lying at herhome with a severely sprained backthe horse Is bruised and the buggypartly demolished

Caught In betw m two automaticrailroad gates unable la go back ¬

ward or forward and with a stringof freight cars hearing down on themwas tho unnerving situation in whichthe aged couple found themselvesAnd but for their presence of mind fakeeping their seats both might havebeen ground to death under tlrawheels of the cars

Tho cause of The accident Is at ¬

tributed to the carelessness of bothKhuon and the gate tender J FWright but both claim they exercised due caution +

I was riding to town with mywire Khuon related shortly aftertho accident and we were comingfrom our home I did not hear anywarning bell ring from the sate tow¬

er and did not hear or see the opproach ing cars I come by this streetdally and have never been In dangerof on accident before depending onthe gates for protection When I gotunder the first gate I noticed the oneon the oast side of the crossing beingrapidly lowered I looked aside hasti ¬

ly and saw the cars coming I struckmy mare and she started forward ata more rapid pace Tho gate camedown struck her on top of tho headand she jumped back My mare Isgentle and but for this fact both my-self and wife might not be livingtto ielllthe Story

The rear of my buggy was on thetracks and I could not force my marean Inch ahead on account of time gateThe west gate was down and I couldnot back so I held the animal In this

I position mill strucklleldJty Rates

The question of getting out of time

way was not to be considered Mywife sat With me anti when the bug ¬

gy was struck was thrown out I leftthe vehicle and assisted her Shesustained a severely sprained backand Is now at home unable to moveThe buggy was partly demolishedand my mare slightly brulEcdbut un +

hurt Had we attempted to back orhad tho mare been wild she mighthave pulled us directly In the pathof tho cars I consider our escape mi-

raculous and will say that I heardno warning bell from either gatetower or engine

The engine was a switch engllltNo 182 In charge pt Foreman Hen-ry

¬

Lewis and Engineer Tim AustinIt was pushing the cars west and theengineer was unablo to seethe bug-gy on account of the length of thestring and a turn In the tracks

The gate tender J FWrlght stat-ed that he did ring his bell and didevery thing he could to warn time

aged coupleI rang my bell several tlmesand

Jet tho gates down I did not see time

driver attempt to cross until too lateI thought he knew the train was com ¬

ing and did not see him again untilmy gates were down I was busy withthe mechanism It was then too lawto avert the accident

The engine was stopped as soon na

the accident was seen by the crewMrs Knuon was resting well after

tho accident but on account of herage and the nature of the lnjurymaybo seriously hurt Too result of thesprain can not bo told for some timeIt may be permanent
