Railroad Accident

Yesterday the express train on the C. I. & N. RR., going west, threw its passenger coach off the track, about two miles from Grand Mound.  The coach was capsized, but, though containing about thirty passengers, no one was very seriously injured.  One man had his arm broken, and four were badly bruised.  The other’s escaped without damage. – Clinton Herald, 10th.
