A Narrow Escape

Two young people, a lady and gentleman, had a narrow esoape for their lives as they were returning froin Whitmore Lake early Tuesday morning. The night was extremely dark and as they were driving into the city they did not notice a train of freight cars that was being baoked down the switch from the Ann Árbor road to the Michigan Central. The city ordinance prohibits engines from whisting as they go over orossings while in the .city, so there was no sound to apprise theni of the movernent of the train. Luckiy the brakeman saw them and by dint of hard yelling made them aware of their danger just in time for them to pull the horse aronnd to one side and cramp the buggy so that the horse could not move forward. The brakeinan was almost paralyzed with fright. He says that is the second time íd two weeks that there has been just sueh a narrow escape. That ordinance prohibitiug eugiues wbistling had better be repealed or amended in some way so that the whistle can be sonnded for a certain number of seconds or someone will yet ose their lives at oue of the rnauy railroad crossings in the city.
