Brakeman w. J.. Allen, who runs on
Iowa Central passengers Nos. 3 and a.,
had rather q close call this morning
from being killed by the Northwestern
fast train, No. 3, while he was attempt
ing to cross the track at the union sta
ton with his train box. On the truck
on which he was wheeling the box,
also the one belonging to Conductor
Chapman, two green flags rolled around
their sticks. They were jolted off the
truck and fell in such a manner that
they became wedged between the rail
and planking. and thru the bottom of
the truck so that Allen could neither
push it forward or move 1t backwards.
Northwestern No. 3 was rapidly app
preaching in the east yards when he
started across, and bore down on the
struggling man with the truck in an
extremely short space of time. Not be-
ing able to loosen it he left it just in
time, and the boxes were struck by the
engine and bursted open strewing Lam
terms and oil, conductors blanks and
stationery all over the platform.
