would reach the crossing, but his sled
caught ON the track aud the horses
broke loose, leaving the sled on the
track and Mr. Glnter sitting on it. The
engine struck the sled, Knocked it off
the track, aud ran over his left leg.

back. aud the unfortunate man taken on
and brought to this place. The Com

son, who was driving another team be-
