February 24, 1911
Thos. GRIFFIN, carrier for Permewan, Wright, and Co. was killed at the Cox street crossing, Hamilton, by a train running into his lorry. This is a death trap, other accidents happening there before, while since GRIFFIN'S death, the engine driver, who cannot see for houses till right at the crossing, narrowly missed another fatal accident, the man stopping his horse just in time.
