on the Lake road at Danville on Sat
urday. 1t seems two rear cars broke
away from a freight train some three
miles this side of Danville, but were
not missed by the engineer. At Dan

climbed upon the moving train and
by vigorous work brought it to a
stand-still. It was a lucky thing
that he saw the situation and acted
