and after tumbling about fora few seconds, |
stretched out motionlesS, and there seemed |
to be a stream of blood running from his |
body. Conductor Calderwood stopped the !

Yesterday Il Chnaman, seeing a number
of empty freight cars standing on the siding
at wood-Shed No. 81, between Emigrant
Gap and Blue Canyon, concluded that it
would be a good scheme to cut one OF the
cars loose and ride upon it down to the
end of the sding-a steep grade-as he was
going in that direction. He expected to be
able to control the speed of the car, but the
! brake-chain got caught, he was unable to
! apply the brake, and the car got under
| furious Roadway. Becoming frightened,
the Chinaman jumped oil, and was Sc
yerely bruised. The car ran on to near the
end OF the side-track, colided with other
cars, and did few hundred dollars worth
of damage.

harder to get Off than it was to get on, but
