A Brakeman In Peril
Yesterday afternoon a brakeman in thu
employ OF the Reading q Columbia railroad
company, named Louis Cashier, got off thu
engine in order to turn switch and wher
he tried to jump on again he stood in th'
middle OF the track waiting for the approach
OF the locomotive. As it approached him b,
made Q leap for the step but missed his foot
ing. He was fortunate enough to catch hole
Of the handrail and hung In this positio,
with his feet dragging along the ties and il
close quarters to the wheels. He wa
dragged for some distance before the engin
stopped and the man was rescued from hi
perilous position. The grip which he ha
taken upon the handrail was the only thin,
that saved him.
