One of the most shocking railroad
accidents Olare has ever Known, occurred yesterday afternoon when the
west-bound passenger train struck the
rig driven by Mrs. Dolph Lebherc living one and one-half miles north of
. Dover, she being accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Eli Cross, living just
west of Dover. Mrs. Lebherc was
instantly killed, Mrs. Oross received
numerous injuries, and the horse died
within fl,ve minutes after being hit.
The buggy was smashed to splinters.
The deceased was taken to A. Thurston & Go's undertaking rooms and the
mother's wounds and bruises were attended by r>rs. Sanford and Lamb
summoned by agent J. H. Galliver, in
the express office, and as Soon as pds-
Dible she was taken to the home of
Senator and Mrs. • A. J. Doherty,
tfiiose hospitality many an unfortunate baa shared. The Sentinel
ecrlbe called this morning and found
Eire* Oross resting as comfortable as
fflould be especte% .Her injuries are
many, but the one probably most
cstioras is tlje knee of the left limb,
the "Baasiiles holding the knee Cap in
itlaee having been raptured and the
D&sells having been drawn out of
glacs. The little finger of the left
fam& was split open and these, besides
chest bruises and bruises on several
parts of the body, comprise.her known
injuries. It is to be hoped no serious
internal injuries will develop, and
this being the case she will be able to
be around again in a few weeks.
A coroner's jury consisting of David
McPhall, J. F. Tatman, A. S. Rhodes,
George W. Lee, T. 0. Holbrook and
R. M. Mussell was empaneled by Justice A. W. Mclntyre which viewed
the dead body and adjourned till ten
o'clock Monday, December 23d. Un-
dersberiff 3. L. Welch^was on duty and
the afternoon train brought Prosecutor Cummins who directed the proceedings. E. G. Welch was appointed
clerk of the court.
Going to press before tbe findings of
the jury the Sentinel can only give
both sides of the case as near as possible as it will be brought out by sworn
witnesses Monday. The ladies had
been purchasing goods at Holbrook's
Department' Store and were driving
north, and when near the track they
heard a train whistle, but not seeing
faithful old "Grandpa" Liese, the
Watchman, they thought there was
no danger and made the attempt to
cross. Others say that "Grandpa'*
was oh duty at his post and made
eyery endeavor to Btop them.    If for
any season Mr. Liese did not do his
duty, the railroad company are liable
for damages, bub however this be,
the truth will be ascertained at the
inquest.
Mrs. Cross was taken home this
afternoon, and there seems to be no
doubt.of her recovery.
Mrs. Libherc leaves a husband, two
daughters nine and seven years of age
and a baby boy one year old. And
this makes her death doubly sad, as
tbe mother's gentle guidance and help
will be bitterly missed by them. One
nf the most pathetic parts of this
terrible accident, was, that scattered
along the track where the mother
met her death was a little handsled,
a drum, a little doll, and doll cab besides other little gifts which the fond
mother and grandmother were taking
home to the little ones. Imagine the
heartaches when the husband and
children heard of the catastrophe!
Deceased was thirty years old last
October and had lived in Olare county
for tbe past twenty-four years. Besides her immediate family she leaves
a father and mother, two brothers,
Dennis, a soldier in the Philippines,
and Joe, of Ashland, Wis., and two
sisters, Mrs. Charles Smith and Sarah
Cross, thirteen years of age.
The funeral will be held from the
Dover church Sunday at two p. m.
and the remains interred in Cherry
Grove cemetery.
The railroad company haye known
for years that this Main street crossing is a dangerous place, and had they
placed gates there this accident would
have been averted. The full proceedings of the inquest may be published
in next issue.
The nature of the accident is such
that the entire sympathy of all is with
the bereaved in this the saddest experience, probably, of their lives.

the National Bridge Co. of New York,
spent Sunday at the home of his uncle,
Jas. EL Seeley.
