Newtonville - A terrible accident occurred here Saturday
night. As John and James Burns were driving through from
Baraga to Chassell, on arriving here, turned into the mill
yard and mistook the railroad track for the state road.
Drove one and a half miles, when passenger train No. 7
dashed into them, killing both horses valued at $560, de-
molishing the wagon and killing James Burns instantly,
while badly injuring John, a brother of the deceased. It
is remarkable that the horses got into the track as they
had to climb a five foot bank and afterwards walk a bridge
60 feet long.
