ESPECIAL TO THE ,NEws.oI

Price, Utah, Jan. S---Charles Craig, a
tramp about forty years OF age, who
gives his home as Coalvlle, Pennsylva-
MIA, was run over In the Rio Grande
Western yards here last night by a
freight train, and his left leg broken
and crushed and otherwise injured. He
and two others have been lying around
town for several days begging and
drinking. Last night they got hold OF
some Indians who were there on their
way to the reservation and from the
braves got money enough TO buy a
quantity Of whisky, of which the In
dams got none. To avoid the Indians
who have been as witnesses before the
United States court at Salt Lake, they
crawled under some cars on the side
track. An extra freight came along
TO set out car and the men were run
over.
A companion Of Craig and a typical
hobo had a most miraculous escape. He
was caught by rod Of one Of the cars
in the region Of the seat Of his trousers
and switched up and down the yards
for a distance Of hundred yards or
more. The hold finally gave way with
the result that he was well nigh dis
robed. He was not scratched. Crais
