Meigs county, Ohio. court, which
was out but one horr for $500.
Price was a section man on the

ahead of a rapidly approaching
freight train, when he was struck
by the train and his leg crushed so
that smputstion was necessary.

the car go. They commended that
he had no orders to remove the
hsnd-car and the accident was the
