IN A BURNING CAR.
Frightful Experience of a Brake
man on the Burlington and
Northern Railway.

La Crosse, Wis. Dec. 81 Special. i
A peculiar accident which may cost a life
occurred on the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern railway near De Soto. A ca
boose on the special freight caught fire
while the train was running at a high
rate Of speed by lamp in the hands of
Brakeman Ed. Miller exploding. The fire
spread rapidly all over to the top of the
car. Miller alone was III the car, and I'M
able to get to the door Of the caboose and
open it, to prevent sutfocation and burn
ing to death, he was obliged to break the
glass out of the windows. He was bad
" scOrched, as his clothes were all burned
off his body. The fresh air through the
broken window panes revived him, and
crawling to the end of the car,
he mana ged to break open the door and
get out onto the platform and jump from
the dly-moving train. When the train
came TO halt at De Soto the caboose
had been reduced to two pair of redhot
trucks, dra gging along behind the last
car Conductor L. a. Mitchell and the
head brakeman were in the engine and
when they saw what had happened they
supposed that Miller had been burned
to death Just then u farmer drove UP
with Miller rolled up in blankets in the
bottom of a sleigh and suffering great
pain. Miller was brought TO this city
and his condition is critical, but hopes
for his recovery are entertained by ply
