TRAIN KILLS WOMAN AT CROSSING

Mrs. Henrietta Dais, Fair Oaks, Meets Almost Instant Death On
Avenue.

As a culmination to a series of tradedies yesterday, Mrs.
Henrietta Dais, 2205 Chamberlain avenue, Mercer's addition,
was struck by a St. Paul train at the Atwood avenue crossing
of the St. Paul road in Fair Oaks at 4:10 i'clock and was
almost instantly killed. The remains were removed to the city
and in the evening were taken to the Fraustchi undertaking
rooms.

Mrs. Dais was 65 years old. Her husband, William Dais, died
last Aufust. She leaves two daughters, miss Sadie S. Browning,
emploted at the Kornheiser store, and one living in Chicago.

Mrs. Dais had just ledt the meat market near the corner of
Evergreen avenue and was walking the the direction of her home
when the train overtook her. The train was No.7 due in Madison
at 4 o'clock, but was twenty minutes late. It was going at
high speed. The track passes through a deep cut just before
coming to the street crossing, and the approach of a train
cannot always be noticed until it is close to the avenue. The
woman was not mutilated by the force of the blow, and an
examiation by Dr. F.F. Bowman diclosed that she sustained an
abdominal reupture.

The train was stopped within a short distance and half the
passengers alighted. A crowd gathered from the immediate
neighborhood and great excitement previalied. Stimulants were
brought, but is was too late to do anything. Coroner Lynch was
soon at the scene and took the statements of bystanders and
the train crew. he will hold an inquest Saturday afternoon.
