Mcemen stood at the corner OF Garfield

hundreds crawled under or over the
gnteu and walked down the dark tracks

ting slowly up from the station.

along the tracks for two blocks. waiting
to board the Lake Shore excursion train
and secure seats. 1t was only few
blocks down the track, creeping care
fully along. Suddenly from out OF the
darkness came the Grand Trunk Chicago

the mass of people. throwing them to
both sides OF the track, bruised and
manned. and grinding a number OF them
