went out on the Burlington branch
Monday to see what damage was done
by the storm.
He rode out on the o'clock accommo-

well acquainted. Conductor Church
watched his opportunity and gave the
signal for his train to start when Hill
debrand was not looking. Hildebrand
was left on the track five miles from
town in a binding snow storm with
nothing to keep him warm but ''cuss''
words and he did not miss his only OPP
portunity to keep from freezing. After
an hour or so thus employing himself
he succeeded in tagging a freight train
and rode back to town.
