TRAIN HITS WAGON.

And John Hurley Barely Misses Death at Brady Crossing John Hurley, of north of town, had a very narrow escape from death Saturday morning near the Brady elevator, while crossing the Monon tracks. Northbound passenger train, No. 32, was just nearing the bend near the crossing at the elevator when the engineer saw Mr. Hurley. He set the emergency brake but not quite quick enough, and the wagon was pushed from the track to safety. Mr. Hurley was not hurt but had a close shave with death.
