Deer killed by freight train near Farwell in deep snow
A herd of eight to ten deer was struck by a Saginaw bound freight train two miles west of Farwell. Four does and one buck were killed, with others chopped into pieces. The accident occurred as the animals, hindered by snow banks, lingered on the track and ignored the warning whistle. The engineer and conservation officer called the scene pitiful and said the deer were in good condition but exhausted.
