A NARROW EscAPE.-Ye sterday afternoon
yard engine, who had been down on |
| street to get a car. was returning through
Sixth street, at a slow rate of speed, when a
man was noticed on the track, looking at
new building. The engineer supposed he
would get of in time as the bell was ring
| ing, but, when it was TOO late to stop, ii was
| noticed that he was unaware of the engines
approach. 1t happened that NJ L. Jones'
| one of the yardmen, was on the pilot of the
engine, and, cOmprehending the situation,
he passed one arm beneath the iron rail on
| the pilot, and with the other encircled the
mans waist just in the nick of time rails
ing him at the second he was struck by the
pilot else he would have been crushed to
death. 1t was done with coolness and
judgment, and bravery as well, for it is not
a trifie to hold an able-bodied man under
such circumstances, and the rescuer took
serious chances of being injured himself
The man rescued, and who fortunately is
little hurt, was George W. Leitch, gentle
man well known in the city, having been
an employee of the Sacramento Valley and
Central Pacific Railroads for the past twen-
ty-five years, and having a large circle Of
friends. He is quite hard Of hearing which
accounts for his failure to notice the APP
proach of the engine. He exonerates the
engineer from blame in the premises, and
| feels very grateful to Mr.. Jones.
