peddler was plodding YEARLY but not
warily up the railroad and when just
beyond Cooper's woods near Elkton
he stepped from the north bound to
the south bound track to avoid a
freight train, and in so doing got in
the way of the passenger train due at
Elkton at S.12 and narrowly escaped
being killed. The train was coming
down the steep grade with its wonted
speed. and the prompt application of
the air breaks and danger whistles
scarcely gave the peddler the neces-
