[Welland Tribune December 17, 1897]
Tilsonburg, Dec. 12- About 1 o’clock on Sunday morning three young men left Tilsonburg in a buggy and drove northward to a hotel on the north side of the M.C.R. track, near the station. They were refused admittance, and one of them got out of the buggy. The others started to go back and were struck by the M.C.R. North Shore express, running about a mile a minute. The horse, which was across the track, escaped unhurt and was found about a mile away. The buggy was smashed to atoms, and one of the occupants, named Charles Lloyd, was hurled a distance of 90 feet and instantly killed. His head was crushed in, his teeth knocked out and both arms and legs were broken.
The other a lad of seventeen, named Charles Chandler, was hurled a long distance, but escaped with a cut in his leg.
