HORSE DERAILS AN ENGINE.
Serious Wreck Narrowly Averted
Near Independence Yesterday.
The eastbound passenger train on the Lexington branch of the Missouri Pacific narrowly escaped being wrecked at the Colyer trestle, near Independence, yesterday morning. The engine struck a horse as the animal was crossing the track. Its body was carried across the bridge, and the pilot wheels of the engine jumped the track at the far side. The derailment was at a dangerous embankment.
