Henry Callahan, conductor of the mar
BILE train from West Rutland, had narrow
escape last evening. AS they were taking
on cars at the Center, Callahan was run

when his foot caught between the rail and
the guard and he fell. The engine came on
and would have seriously injured him, but
he had presence of mind enough to catch
some part OF it and raise himself. AS it
was, one ankle was sprained and badly
bruised.
