Mr. Wilson was not driving at any great speed at the time. but as the night was quite foggy it is said to have been mostly the cause of the accident.- When driving home from town last Thursday night Mr. Robert Wilson of McClinton’s Corners, Egremont, met ,with what might have been a serious accident when he ran into a stone train standing on the crossing at the switch crossing the Provincial Highway at the south end of town. The night was foggy and Mr. Wilson did not see the train until he was nearly on it. Applying the brakes he turned his car for the side of the road at the same time but at the speed at which he was travelling the hind end slewed around and he struck_ the train sideways.
