Timmons (one of the most substantial farmers and reliable people in the County Wynette), reports that people working on the farm, seeing that a storm is coming very quickly, quickly moved to Edwardsville.

They saw that by rail to the Edwardsville moving something that was like a locomotive at full speed.

They jumped down and quickly drove his car off the track when he saw that it was not a locomotive. It was dense smoke with random flashes in the center. He drove three-quarters of a mile from the spot where they first saw him, then went in a South-westerly direction. People in a hurry to tell what they saw.

Original news

Mr. Timmons, “one of the most substantial farmers and reliable men in Wyancotte county,” reports that “the section men on the K. P. road, on my farm, seeing the storm coming up very fast, got their hand-car on the track and started full speed for Edwardsville. They had run but a little ways when the entire crowd, at the same time, saw coming around the curve of Edwardsville what they supposed to be a locomotive at full speed. “They jumped down and took their car off the track as fast as possible when they saw it was not a locomotive. Whatever it was came down the track giving off a volume of dense smoke with occasional flashes resembling a head light in the centre of smoke. It came three-fourths of a mile from where they first saw it, then turned off the track at a pile of cordwood, went round it once, then went off in a southwesterly direction, through a thick wood. The section men came running to my house evidently much frightened and bewildered by what they saw.”
