Ing home from work and passed over
tfS trestle which crosses the city. He
was walking rapidly, as there was a
tram coming up behind him and he did
not wish to be caught upon the trestle
with It.
Suddenly in front Of him he saw q
headlight, which he thought was on an
engine coming toward him. He thought
there would be collision and jumped
to one side. He jumped little too far,
however, and losing his balance was pre-
cipitated over the trestle, which fortu-
nately did not prove to be very high
at this point. the distance he fell being
about sixteen feet. He was carried to
his home by some companions who
found him, and it was found that Cree
gan had sustained fractured collar
bone.
The headlight which Mr.. Creegan
thought was on the approaching en-
gine, proved to be upon the rear OF d
pusher, so there was no collision.
