The message came in from an In

work at once and figured out that
there was just time to catch the IA

instructions to get on 1t Valparaiso
and take an accommodation train
which left Summitville half an hour
later. He was to get an account OF
what had happened there, and get
it into the Office by telegraph before
midnight without fail.
At the station in Chicago 1t devel-
oped that the flyer was not sched-
uled to stop until it reached Cleyc-
land. An interview with the en-
gineer developed that the train
slowed up at Valparaiso for some
purpose or other, and that . quick
man, who was willing to run some
chances, might get on there. :

happened to be ON board, "and the
