A Lean For life.

Mr. Wallace Truslow, the young de-
pot agent and telegraph operator at
Cranberry, had thrilling adventure
and anarrow escape from death, last
Friday morning, between Elk Part
and Cranberry, on the E. T. & w, N.
Z. X. r. Mr.. Truslow spends the
night at Elk Park, coming from Gran
berry in the evening and returning
the next morning on a railroad velos-
ipede. On the morning in question,
Tor some reason, he was not expecting
a train, and mounting his velosipede
started to Cranberry. He had gone
perhaps 200 yards, and had got
ten in the middle of trestle 40 feet
high, when suddenly and unexpectly
the down train Numbered around a
sharp curve seventy yards in front of
him. The speed with which the train
and the velosipede were approaching
each other made it imossible to pre-
vent collision, and to leap to the
ground below would probably be death.
Taking in the situation at glance
and without moments hesitation, he
put forth every energy of mind and
muscle to speed the velosipede faster
towards the on coming train. BY the
time the pilot of the engine was
within few feet of him he was nearly
across the trestle, and then just as the
locomotive and the velosipede rushed
together, he made gallant leap, clear
ed the track, and went down to the
ground twenty feet below, saving HIM
self almost miraculously. No bones
were broken and with the exception
OF the terrible jar he received, he is
not otherwise injured.
