Farmer Seaver's KExperience With Them Both—A Funny Casualty. Train men on the B. & M. report a ne uliar @nd ludicrous accident on their road which occurred sbout 7 o'clock Saturday even- ing between Aurors and Hastings. Midway between these two towns & lonely country highway crosses the track througha deep cut. John Seaver and family have for the past ten years occupied a small frame farm house just h of the railroad. Sometime since Mr. Seaver purchased a farm on the south side of the track and last fall a founda- tion was built on' the new place suitable for the old house. Saturday morning Mr. Seaver began moy- ing hi# house and at 7 0'lock had reached the brow of the incline above the tracks. A mes- senger had been sent to Case station to ob- tain the time at which trains would pass the cross-road and he returned about S o'clock with the information that all trains were de 1 and that none would pass until after midnight. Mr. aver's family then retired for the night rm hands were detanled to assist Mr. 0 in moving the cottage across the track. To make a dead sure provision against any possible accident, two others were given a bottle of whisky each, one sent down and the other up the track to signal any train that might ap- proach, The housemover than b work and soon the cottage family was moving down the hill toward the iron rails. Iu the meantime the farm hand sent eastward on the railroad had imbibed so freely from the bottle that he became stupi flod and forgot his mission. Just as the house reached the track along came a train and notwithstanding the cries of three ex- cited and dancing farmers, struck the house nearly “amid shiy knocking it to oye side. There were howls of distress from the interior, but soon there hed forth two fe- males, clad only in their night dresses, and three small children like o attire For- aately no one was seriously injured, but all were badly frightencd, The cottage was Dbadly wrecked, but can be repaired.
