years old, had visited friends at Dubois
and was on his way to Foxburg, but un-
fortunately got on b., Il. & z. passen-
ger train at Falls Creek instead of the
A. V. R'y train. AS soon as the con-

was for Foxburg he stopped the train
and let him off, but by the time he got
back TO the station the A. V. train had
gone and Mr.. Radebach started
to walk to Dubois when he was run
down on the bridge by freight train
and knocked of the bridge into the
creek below, breaking and mangling
one leg and otherwise bruising his
body. The old gentleman was hard Of
hearing and it Is evident he did not
hear the alarm signal given and did not
know of the approaching danger until
too late TO get out of the way. The
trainmen took Mr.. Radeback to Dubois
and summoned doctor. The doctors

II Might Have Been.

An incident occurred at Fred. Alex
ander's new house about 200 A. M.
yesterday that might have resulted in
blowing out the lamp Of life for one or
two carpenters. Mr.. Young, the con-
tractor, had some lumber uncovered
that he did not want to get wet, and
when 1t began raining Monday night he
and an assistant went to the new build
ing without light to cover the lumber
and do 1t quietly without disturbing
the peaceful slumber Of the people In
that neighborhood. The girl that
works at DR.. Alexander's heard some
person walking and on looking out Of
her window saw two men standing just
below and one OF them picked up a
piece Of board and, as she thought,
walked towards Doctors dwelling TO
pry up window to gain an entrance.
She informed the family that two men
were about to break into the house.
Fred ana Frank got up and by that
time the girl had seen one of the
supposed bold robbers in the new build
ing, which as yet is nothing but a
skeleton Of house, without roof.
Frank fired two shots into the new
building in quick succession and Con-
tractor Young was not long in making
known who was in the building OF
course it terminated all right and can
be laughed at now, but 1t might have
been a serious matter. Alexander
