Reaping a Big Toll at Railroad Crossings.

The steam and traction line railroads are reaping a fearful toll this spring in the number of people in automobiles killed at their crossings. One cannot pick up a dally paper without reading of from one to a half dozen accidents of this kind, and in most cases more than one person is killed, sometimes a whole family being wiped out of existence. One cannot exercise too much caution in crossing a railroad, whether they are driving an auto or a team.
