I Fanner Escapes Injury Hut Loses False Teeth I Bluffton, Oct. 2 Daniel Hostettler. living east of Markle, narrowly escaped death Monday night when hjw wagon containing seed wheat was struck by an Erie westbound passenger train at the Goshen crossing near Huntington. A den* Ist wa« one of the first places Hostettler visited after the accidenX, due to the fact that he lost half of a set of false teeth in the spill. The train hit the rear of the wagon a glancing low, and whirled it around in the roadway. Mr. Hos|tettler were thrown to the ground. ■ His teeth were knocked out, but he ’ recovered half of the set. The other half could not be found. Hostettler said he noticed the head1 light ji the locomotive down th'j • track, but did not realize that the train was so close until he got onto the crossing. A sharp command to the horses caused them to lurch for,'ward. and this lurch drew the wagon r off the rails far enough to prevent a t direct collision. Had the engine 'hit j the wagon squarely. Mr. Hostettler | probably would have been instantly s killed. His injuries consisted of s bruises to one side and one leg. He . we enroute with the seed wheat to 1 another farm owned by hinx near Macy J when the accident occurred. r i a o I Lafayette—Eugene K.
