"A thousand times. You wait until after

BLooD's STATION. y. Y. June l. John
Kreshler OF this place is IS years OF age. and
totally deaf. Railroad tracks have a great fas-
cination for him. week ago Friday he was
walking on the Erie Hallway track near this
station. He was struck by a locomotive and
thrown down tho bank and over the fence. n
distance Of 80 feet. The train was stopped. but
when trainmen ran back expecting to find q
dead man they met kreshler coming up tho
bank as II nothing had happened. He was
bruised considerably. but that was all.
He was not seen around the tracks again I'M
til Monday. Not liking his experience with the
Erie he tried tho Delaware and Lackawanna
this time. He got out of the way OF one train
and stepped in front OF another. He was tossed
intoa little swamp more than rod from the
track. He got up and came out. and all the
fault he had to find was that he was covered
with mud from head to foot.
That trial of the Delaware and Lackawanna
was enough for kreshler. and he returned to
the Ere. On Tuesday a mile from Blood's he
was picked up by the Rochester express. and
he got the biggest whir yet He was knock ed
way Off to one side of tho track. through u
panel Of fence and landed ten feet or more be-
yOnd it in q wheat field. This time the old
man limped when he got up and came out Of
the field rubbing his elbow as II 1t hurt him
some. But he walked back home on another
track. and Is around all right again. If no
wasn't so old his friends would begin to fear
that kreshler was born to be hanged.
