ELKHART, IND, April 2l.- No. 5 which
is always the heaviest loaded western
Bound passenger train on the Lake Shore
and Michigan Road, was only prevented
from meeting with a terrible accident
early this morning at Delta, about twenty.
five miles west of Toledo, by the prompt
action Of one Of those generally despised
mortals, atramp. A farmer who had been
to town and imbibed so freely that when he
started for home he was dead drunk. and
falling asleep his horses were left
to their own guidance and
when they came to the track, in
stead OF following the road, they went up
he track until they came to q bridge,
where their legs slipping between the ties,
one Of them was broken, and they lay
there helpless, with the wagon wedged be-
tween the tracks, while the drunken farmer
slept on unaware OF approaching danger.
About this time q tramp happened along,
and seeing the obstruction on the track
and bis own inability to remove il, and
knowing that the train was nearly
due, turned, and wading across the
stream, hastened with all his might
tuc ucoIcct tctobIukfu ctdhoHs uoSut 0ho
half mile distant, which he reached just
four minutes before the time for the train
to reach there, and then only to learn that
il did not stop at that station. Quick work
must now be donel The great iron horse
was Numbering along at the rate OF forty
miles an hour, bearing behind II several
passenger coaches and three sleepers all
heavily laden with human lives, happily
unconscious Of the peril upon which they
were rushing.
The telegraph operator and the tramp
grabbed up the red lanterns aud ran their
fieetest to ward the approaching tain. Just
as they reached the bridge the engine
whistled. OH how 1t thrilled them through
every vein, but on they ran, swinging their
red lights furiously back and forth. VIII
the en- ngineer never see their signal? Yes,
his watchful, never tiring eye has caught
the dan ger signal at last. The whistle sounds;
the brakes are applied, and the train comes
70 3 stand-still only few feet from the
Bridge. The train was delayed only about
forty-five minutes until the track was
cleared, when the tramp was not only in.
yited 10 ride, but was taken aboard and
treated like prince by those whose lives
he had saved. The train men shared with
him their suppers, and ne was unded
and gszed on by thankful individuals Of all
stations in life. AS il happened, the r1ad.
master was OF the train, and he informed
the tramp that he would take him 70 To
ledo and give him life position at any
thing he was capable OF doing.
