Grimsby, Jan.17- A merry load of Grimsby people left here on Friday night, laughing and singing gaily, for a run and a night’s enjoyment at Winona. Everything was as merry as a marriage bell at Winona. At an early hour on Saturday morning, the return was made and at about three o’clock the party was crossing the Grand Trunk tracks immediately east of the station here when the flyer from Toronto and Hamilton for Buffalo and the west, rushed along at between fifty and sixty miles an hour. As it does not stop between Hamilton and St. Catharines, it struck the sleigh load of happy people with terrific force. The result of awful impact was that Mr. and Mrs. W. Wilson and Mr. George Teeter were instantly killed, and Mrs. Geo. Teeter was so terribly injured that she died very shortly after.
Mr. Gordon Nelson was terribly injured and was taken to Hamilton hospital, where he died at noon on Saturday, and Lottie Teeter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Teeter, who are both dead, is at her home here, also severely injured, but the doctors hope she may recover. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Teeter, who was in her mother’s arms, escaped in a most miraculous manner, with only a few minor bruises.
