The Thrilling Adventure Of a Millin County
Farmer Boy
ROLLED down A MOUNTAIN side
Had Been Out Hunting Rabbits, When
His Foot Tripped and He Was Pre-
cipitated Down a Ravine just in
Time to Avoid by Foot the Whiz-
zing Fast Express on the PennsyI.
Vania Railroad.
LEWIsTowN. Pa, July 24
EROY WILLIAMSON, the 16-
year.old son OF farmer living


year.old son OF farmer living
some few miles from town, had
u startling adventure yesterday
morning, from the effects of which he
is slill contiaed to his bed, and which
has actually turned the boys hair gray
in places. Young williamson had
taken his gun to do little shooting on
the mountain just back of his fathers
farm and finally got shot AZ u rabbit,
which ran down the incline, which is
unusually steep just at that spot.
The boy started in purAuit, running
as fast rs he could, But just at the
steeppst SHE of the mountain and
where the thin soil had for the most
part been washed away, exposing the
smooth rock, his foot caught in some
trailing vine and he fell, beginning to
roll toward the bottom Of the ravine
where ran the track Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The boy was consider
ably bruised, out by dint of catching
at the shrubs and vines that grew near
he managed to break his fall as he
went. His ear was suddenly startled
by the sound Of a coming train. He
Grasped at every plant near him, but
the soil being extremely thin, none had
struck root sufficiently deep to afford
him IL hold
JUST MISSED THE TRAIN.
As the train came rushing on, SEEM
ing TO jar the earth and to precipitate
him still faster, the now terror stricken
boy dug his hands and roughly booted
feet into the mountains side. If he
had been able to guess at the moment
when the train would pass beneath him
he might have accelerated his move
meuts so as to land below before the
iron monster reached the spot and
either lind some small nook in which
to crouch as the train passed or scram.
bic up some less steep incline Of the
mountain, but he found it impossible
to gauge the distance at which he
heard the rumbling wGeels and feared
to drop lest ut that very moment the
train come whlzzing around the curve
just ahead.
Nearer and nearer he rolled to the
foot OF the mountain. gathering i'm
petus as ne went and then the bot air
from the engine smote his face. the
cinders binding him, he made a frantic
dig into the earth and bounced off the
mountain into the track below Just as
the last car whizzel by him, and which
missed him by scarcely foot Young
Williamson says that he tainted Just
as he felt the wind from the vanishing
Car touch his face.
When at last he was able to get up
he was obliged to almost crawl to hut
100 yards or so from where he had fall
len, and on reaching it literally crept
i'll on his hands and knees to the great
surprise of the occupants of the hut,
Here he tainted again and had finally
to be carried home in wagon. He
was not able to tell his story for some
time, and by the following day his
hair was gray about his temples.
