New York, 1895
Samuel E. Cozine, of Jamaica, denies that he heard the whistle blow as a warning to Mr. Ostrander, the driver of the Central American tea company's wagon, which the motor ran into and wrecked the other day. Mr. Cozine, who was driving two horses attached to a farm wagon, says the whistle blew to warn him, as the motor was coming swiftly down a steep grade, and he barely had time to pull out of the track. The tea wagon came suddenly on to the track from a side lane and was struck almost as soon as it reached the rails. He is certain that the driver of the tea wagon had no warning whatever.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, N.Y., Jan. 18, 1895, unknown page number.
