[From the Indiana County Gazette, February 18, 1891. Arthur was James Sutton�s youngest son.] RUN DOWN ON THE ROAD Valuable Horses of A.D. Sutton Caught In a Bridge and One Killed Last Friday afternoon the pay train on the Pennsylvania railroad, returning from its monthly trip to Indiana, killed one and injured three other fine blooded horses belonging to Mr. Arthur D. Sutton of the Ortondale stock farm, south of town. The engineer saw six horses coming down the lane from Mr. Sutton�s farm when he was rounding the turn, just below the Fair farm. He whistled for the crossing, on the north side of Reed�s, at the usual place. Just as he whistled, the horses got to the crossing and the engineer slowed up. The horses did not turn off at the crossing, but kept on down the track at a very rapid gait. When they reached the next, they turned off the track and ran over the side of a deep cut which is there. The engineer, seeing this, thought he might be able to reach the other side of the cut before the horses, but as he was running slow he couldn�t get his engine under sufficient headway and the horses beat him. Wild with terror they dashed down the track at a! terrible speed. When the bridge was reached at Stoney run, two of the horses ran around it and escaped uninjured. A third tried to jump it, but did not reach the other side and fell over the edge of the bridge, striking his head against the stone abutment and causing instantaneous death. The other three stuck in the bridge, but were ectricated after a good deal of work. They were injured, but not fatally. Mr. Sutton was very much aggrieved at the loss, and says he will recover from the railroad company, if possible. His claim is that the engineer of the pay train pursued the horses and drove them upon the bridge. He also claimed that the crossing signal was not given, as stated above. Mr. Sutton has put in a bill of damages. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com/a
