about 60 years of age, enroute from
Belle PLANE, Iowa, to San Jose, Cal
ifornia. jumped out of the car win
dow about II o'clock to-day near
Peko, while the train was going at the
rate OF thirty miles an hour. When
Conductor Markle took No. at Og-
den this morning, he noticed that the
old gentleman was not right and kept
the car doors locked so that he could
not get out. When the train was
near Peko, the old gentleman was in
the smoker with the rest of the
day passengers. He got up
and went to the front door Of
the day coach and tried to
get out, but found the door locked.
He then went back and took seat
and the conductor and other passen-
gers paid no further attention to him
not thinking that he would attempt
to jump through the window. A few
minutes afterwards one of the
passengers saw the old man falling
from the cars and gave the alarm.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible and it backed up about a
mile where the old man was found
lying unconscious by the side Of
the track. The back of his head
