DRAGGED ACROSS THE BRIDGE
A Somnambulist's Adventures on a
Maine Central Train.

Especial to the Press.l
ORoNo, Sept. 13.-Of all the antics of a
somnambulist those of a gentleman on the
Pullman train going east one night recently,
were among the most remarkable on record.
The train had reached a point just below
Freeman's Creek bridge, short iron struc-
ture mile and a half below South Gardin-
er. The hero of the exploit had been Sleep
ing soundly, when he arose from his seat in
a somnambulistic state, walked to the car
door, opened it, and, continuing on to the
car steps, was in the act of jumping off when
he evidently awoke, for he grabbed the rail
and hung on, while his feet dragged on the
ground and across the sleepers of the iron
bridge, so that his shoes and stockings were
stripped from off his feet and his feet torn.
After being carried across he let 60 of tn e
car and rolled off into a clump of bushes.
The train was halted, and the train men and
passengers, after hunting two hours and
half, finally found the man in an insensible
condition, discovering him by his groans.
He was carried along on the train, and it
does not appear that he was seriously hurt.
His name mas not been learned. The train
was running about 20 miles or more.
