MARY MCCARTY IN SAME DEATH TRAP Mrs. Mary McCarty Loses Her Life At Fatal Railroad Crossing. IN VILLAGE OF BRANCH. Run Down by C. & N. W. Freight. Mother Is Killed Outright and Son Seriously Injured – Details. In a death trap created by the unprotected Chicago & Northwestern crossing at Branch, Mrs. Mary McCarty an aged resident of Cato, yesterday lost her life, and her son, Daniel received injuries that are of a serious nature. The accident happened late in the afternoon as Mrs. McCarthy and her son were on their way home from a visit to town. In crossing the tracks at Branch, the vehicle in which they were riding was struck by a south bound freight train and Mrs. McCarty was hurled to her death, the son escaping by a providence that was little less than a miracle. The scene of the accident was the crossing at Branch, where several other fatalities have occurred. The track is so situated that in approaching it is impossible to see it in either direction, and this was the case yesterday. Mr. McCarty, who was driving, was already on the track when he was made aware of the danger. The freight bearing down at a good speed. He urged his horse with a view to clearing the track, and might have succeeded, had not his mother, becoming frightened, grasped the lines and checked the animal. The engine struck the vehicle fairly and threw both occupants to the ground, the son retaining a hold on the horse and being dragged out of danger. Mrs. McCarty was killed outright and in examination of her injuries after the accident it was found that her skull had been crushed, the right arm fractured in three places, left arm broken at the wrist and bones in both limbs fractured. Mr. McCarty sustained injuries to the back and may have suffered internal injury, but it is thought he will recover in a short time. The train, which was in charge of conductor Schuette, was brought to a standstill and the crew went to the assistance of the unfortunate victims. The woman was found to be dead and the remains placed in the caboose to be brought to the city. Mr. McCarty was assisted aboard the train, and on arrival here was taken to Holy Family hospital where Dr. Pritchard, the company physician attended him. The body of Mrs. McCarty was taken to the Vogelsang & Murphy undertaking rooms and Coroner Meany notified. An inquest was called by Justice Falge, the jurors being C. A. Groffman, U. Gagnon, Robt. Puls, J. Reif, Frank Rose, Joseph Willinger. After viewing the remains, the inquiry was adjourned until this afternoon, when another adjournment was taken until Saturday at 9 a. m. Mrs. McCarty, who was the mother of Robert McCarty and Mrs. Richard McGuire, of this city, was 78 years of age and made her home with her sons, Daniel and Charles of Cato.
