TRUE HERO.
The Pittsburg Despatch of May relates
tins incident; Yesterday there were
published in this journal the particulars of
the tragic death of young Sutton, who fell
from train at Burgeltstown and sustained
injuries which afterwards proved fatal. 1t
appears that the unfortunate young man
had been instructed by the conductor OF
his train, Mr.. Peter Wynne, to go to the
rear and flag another train. While pro-
ceedlng to comply with these orders he fell
tba tpapls anil hv five
| cars and the caboosc. His legs were COM
pletely cut off just above the knee, but
young Sutton remembered his orders, clear
ed the track of the dismembered portions
of his own body, and taking flag from
his pocket, waved it until he had stopped
the train, which was fast approaching.
! BIT for this heroism other lives must GER
| tainly have been lost, as collision was in
| evitable. Young Sutton was made of the
material which constitutes true heroes, and
| his last act is one which shows devotion
to duty which has meyer been surpassed. II
