RAILWAY CROSSING A DEATH- TRAP.

Benjamin Bricker, of Roseville, and his grand-daughter, Miss Maud Bricker, narrowly escaped an awful death Wednesday morning, driving across the C.P.R. tracks on the Roseville Road, west of the Galt cemetery by being struck by the 10.23 express, going east. As it was, the rear end of the waggon was struck, and Mr. Bricker was violently hurled to the road, the wagon smashed into kindling wood, and the horse ran away. Miss Bricker escaped injury by jumping, but the extent of Mr. Bricker's injuries are not known. Immediately after the accident the train was brought to a standstill, and Mr. and Miss Bricker were taken to the station in the train, and Dr. Hawk was summoned. The doctor ordered Mr. Bricker removed to the hospital, but before he had an opportunity to examine him. a message was received from Roseville, asking that he be taken home. The ambulance conveyed him thence.

The Galt Reformer says that the crossing where the accident occurred is a veritable death trap, and that It was nothing short of a miracle that Mr. and Miss Bricker were not killed.
