ANOTHER FOOL GETS WHAT HE
DESERVES.

The following is taken from the Akron,
Ohio. Beacon:
Dick Cheney, a track-walker between
New Portage and Wadsworth. the victim
Of the accident, will probably lose his
u by it. The particulars are as follows:
The engine of train "a. due here from
th- west at so O. clock i the evening.
saw lantern some distance ahead on
the track. Thinking it to be the track
walker fastening the bolts of the FISH,
plate JOINT. he did not stop the train.
Coming closer to the light, he distin-
guished the form of a man stretched
across the rails He reversed his engine
and whistled down brakes. but it was too
late to stop the train before reaching the
man, and he was caught under the COW
catcher showed along over the ties for
several yards and was badly mangled.
He was caught under the pilot or COW
catcher in such a manner that the en-
gine could not go forward or backward
without crushing him. Strangest Of all,
the man was still living In order to ex-
tricate him the engine had to be raised
up by Jack-screws,' thus delaying the
train an hour.
When the man was taken out, il was
discovered that the flesh on his legs,
from his hips down, was torn and man
gled fesrfully, and that both thighs were
broken. The man was conscious but was
under the influence of liquor. lie was
taken to his home near by. On entering
the house. those bearing him were sur
prised to find the father of the young
man asleep in a chair, and so drunk that
it was impossible to arouse him. Going
TO the bed room, the mother was found
dead drunk in bed A physician from
Akron was sent for and attended the in
jured man. Cheney is about twenty
live years old.
Whisky was the cause of the accident.
A saloon in the neighborhood Of the
young mans home had received barrel
OF whisky in the morning, and by dark
nearly everybody in the vicinity was
more or less drunk.
