Thrilling Experience of a Southern Rail

estly spoke Superintendent b. G. Epper-
son to a Telegraph reporter who, in order
10 bring the Superintendent out, suggest
ed that he must have been afforded the
opportunity of saving a good many lives
during his long experience as railroad
man.
The conversation was brought up by
Mr. Eppersons remark that he had read
I'm the Telegraph. while down in Al"hama
inspecting the road, that his son Ben had
jerked an old man from under the wheels
of moving train.
Any one who knows Mr.. Epperson will
not question for one moment the truthful
ness of his statement, as remarkable as
1t Is.

thrilling experiences while running on the
road as conductor, but there IS one ex-
perience in particular that | will never

Just in time TO pull him from under the
wheels This was all right as far as II
went, but to my horror ] found that
could not raise the man 10 the platform.
All / could do was hold him from under
the wheels. In catching the man I had
thrown myself in such manner that the
fange on one OF the wheels began cutting
into my leg. and the pain was excruciat-
ing. but to turn the man loose meant
certain death. II was an awful predica-
ment and II grew worse and worse as
I felt my strength giving way and knew
that | could hold on 10 the man but little
longer. Finally I resolved on n desperate
course. and no sooner had I thought OF
II than ] put il into execution. Throwing
myself backward from the platform I
jerked the man with me. and We both
went rolling down together I suppose
we turned over half a dozen times before
we stopped. but when We did the man

him. For a moment he glared at me. and
