CROSSING HORROR.
ONE MAN KILLED, TWO HURT.
Wagon Load of Men is Struck While
Crossing St. Paul Tracks With
Fatal Finish to One of Them.
Last Wednesday evening about ten
minutes after six a wagon load of men
who were returning home from work
at the mill of the Grand Rapids lum-
ber company were struck by a car on
the St. Paul road, the accident re-
sulting in the death of Hiram Rouse
and the injury of Frank Laughlin
and Albert Zemrow.
The men were bound east and were
moving at a good gait. Their team
had just crossed the track and as the
wagon got on the track a box car
loomed up before them and the next
instant struck the back wheels of the
rig.
The box car was being pushed by an
engine which was doing some switching....
Hiram Rouse, the man who was
killed, was dragged down the track...
