Blue ridge, bound for Marietta When the
train had reached point about FIVE miles
north of the latter point, lie was standing

running at hight rate of speed. came to
an abrupt turn in the road, the brakes were
suddenly applied and Tracy was thrown
forward through the side door, which was
standing open. He was hurled against the
ground and received what he says are per
manent injuries to his hip and back. The
