Jack Christy was an engineer on the
Fort Wayne road out of Chicago. The
other day with heavy train of passen-
ger coaches his engine jumped the track,
but, instead of jumping from his engine
and saving himself, he staid and was
buried beneath it, but not until he had
applied the air and saved the passenger
coaches from total wreck. 1t is men
like Jack Christy who will be greater
men through eternity than senator's OF
presidents.
Our mail train from the east was twelve
hours late, Saturday, in consequence OF
a head end collision which occurred a
few miles west of Manhattan. The mail
train collided with fast stock train, the
result, it is thought, of carelessness on
on the part of the operator at Manhattan,
by which the mail clerk lost his life and
the engineers and firemen of both trains
were both badly scalded. None of the
passengers were very seriously hurt.
| J. Hamilton, of Selden, had an arm bad
1y twisted and jammed and child oi
Mrs. J. M. Foster suffered painful con-
fusion of the head. The mail car and
several of the coaches were burned in
the wreck ck-Oberlin Eve

train were backing up to the main train,
and while he was preparing to make the
coupling, he in some unknown way fell
under the wheels and was so badly hurt
that he died in about one hour. The re-
mains were brought down to McCook on
