FRIENDS HEROISN
SAVED YOUNG NAN
Mr.. Fuller Underwood Narrowly Es-
capped Being Crushed
Under Engine.

Had it not been for a friends heroism
and persistence Mr.. Fuller Underwood.
Of this city, would have been crushed 10
death, or at least have lost a foot. under
a switch engine in the Atlantic Coast Line
yards at O'Clock Thursday morning. 1t
was a singular accident, and thrilling
throughout, Mr.. Underwood being doubly
threatened. His escape was miraculous.
His resci:er was Mr.. Harvey Wicks, Il
clerk in the Office OF the Western Union
Telegraph Company, who lives at No.
1901 West Leigh Street. Both are less
than twenty years old. 3Ir. Underwood
lives with his sister at No. S02i2 Cherry
Street. Save for g. bruised foot, he was
not injured
Mr.. Underwood was in the Western
Union office on Thursday morning at
o'clock, when {, hurry telegram which had
to be delivered to train on the Atlantic
Coast Line within a few minutes came
in. There were no messengers in the Of
flee and Mr.. Wicks, the clerk. took tho
telegram and went TO the Atlantic yards
to deliver it befo,e the train went out.
Mr.. Underwood went with him. The
young men arrived there just in time
and We're on the train-a yestbule-when
it began to move out.
The young men leaped. Mr.. Wicks land
eu Safely DuC as MI tet'r
touched the ground he felt the grip OF
the switch frog on his foot. Instantly
realizing the danger OF his position ant.
dreadinS the suction OF the moving train
which threatened him Il few inches away.
he leaned as far away from the train as
it was possible. Gathering momentum
as it went the suction of the train III
creased and he was forced to struggle
hard to save himself, but he held out
until the last car flashed by with its trail
of dust and then he breathed q sigh OF
relief.
Instantly, however, the greater danger
of his position was brought forcibly to
his mind. There had been. standing :.
little distance away a switch engine,
which had been side-tracled in order that
the passenger might pass and now this
engine bore down Oh him. He struggled
franticaIly-, but in the pitch dark of the
yards he could not see just how his foot
was caught and al! his struggles were I'M
avaiIing. As the train drew nearer Mr-
Wicks rushed to help him, but he too
found it Impossible to release the foot.
Lie down and le; it take your foot
said Mr.. N7icks- IF you don't It will !.;i.

Still unIteedinG Mr.. Underwood struE-
gIed to release himself. Finally. when
the train was not more than ten teet
away Mr.. Wicks rushed again 10 ai.is

jerk released the foot. Mr.. Underwood5
