Fell Beneath a Moving Train

Yesterday evening, o. b. True, of
this city. passenger brakeman on F. E.
trains 3 and 4, came uncomfortably
near playing the title role in one of
those fatal tragedies that happen daily
in the life of a railroad man.
AS the west bound train was leaving
West Point, True noticed several
tramps jump onto the "head end" and
going ahead he unloaded the nonpro-
ductive passengers. but while he was
dong 80 some time elapsed as the
tramps we're somewhat inclined to
argue the matter, and when he al
lighted from the head end, intending to
catch one of the day coaches, the train
had attained quite speed. AS the
baggage car passed True made a jump
for the rear platform, but from some
cause he missed his footing and fell
beneath the train. Fortunately the
speed of the train had tendency to
throw him from it and he fell outside
the track yet dangerously near the
grinding wheels. The train was stop
ped and after the injured man was
taken aboard, hurried examination
of his injuries was made, which dis
closed the fact that although he had
suffered several injuries he was not in
serious condition. His chief injuries
are a slight confusion of the scalp
and painful sprain to his right wrist.

Suit Likely to Be Dropped.
1t is now likely that the suit
brought by States Attorney Cen
eral Milton RemleY to restrain w
A Smith from digging q ditch for
the alleged purpose of draining
Mobiles lake will be dropped, as it
appears that the proceedings we're
brought under q misconception Of
the real facts in the matter.
County Attorney Kilpsck yester-
day received a letter from the at
torney general in which he writes.
IF the parties do not intend to
make a drain which taps the lake
proper, the state cannot afford to
interfere, unless the construction
of this drain is such as would
necessarily crawfsh to the lake.
A party owning land adjoining q
meander line could not con-
struct . drain 90 close to the
meander line that the watar would
break through. The state would
have right to require the banks
OF the lake to be kept unim-
paired"
County Attorney Kilpack in
company with Supervisor John
Matthews, when the case was
called to his attention, inspected
the ditch and found that IL ~
'e"S' S'1e ~ 20 eighty rods from the
meander line or banks of the lake
proper and that Smith was con-
structing it for the purpose solely
OF draining the water off his land
which had been flooded by the
recent rise Of the Missouri.
These facts will now be laid be-
fore the attorney general by Mr..
kilpaok and he is of the opinion
that the suit will be dropped.-C
