NEGAUNEE, Mich, October Fireman
Matthew Byo has had an experience that he
will not soon forget. A brakeman, Thomas
Higgins. Slipped between two freight cars on
a moving train near Maple Ridge. The sig
nal to stop was given by another brakeman
who saw the fall, and the train stopped and
backed to where Higgins lay. Eight cars
had passed over his body, which was fright
fully maugled. The head, was completely
from the track. Byo picked up the head,
and was horror stricken to see the eyelids
close and again open and then partly clio. close
This was seen by Engineer William Whit
pey and the brakeman. All three were pad
ly frightened. This sign OF consciousness
was severed from the body.
