The Terry residence is located on the south side of the highway and the Union Pacific tracks, while part of the farm lies north of the tracks Mr. Terry was going to the field with an empty rack to get some feed for the stock. He opened the gate between the highway and the track and started to lead the team on across the track. It was a cold morning, the team was young and frisky and a car came along which might have frightened them and they attempted to run. Mr. Terry was forced to get away from in front of them and held onto the left hand horse, pulling the team and rack into a circle which they continued and Mr. Terry was caught between a cement fence post and the hay rack, crushing his head and killing him instantly. James Regan was also driving by in a car at the time and witnessed the accident, but was too far away to be of any help. The team ran on down the track toward the eats and were caught by Wm Wurtz.
