DRUNK CAUSES A WRECK.
Went TO Sleep On Track and Emer-
qency Brake Threw Train Into Ditch.

Boone. May 10.-An unknown drunk
en- coal miner, who had fallen in a stu
por across the rails Of the Northwes-
tern railway near here, came within q
foot or two OF losing his life, and
caused a wreck that cost couple OF
thousand dollars and delayed traffic
for several hours last night.
Just as a fast eastbound meat trair
was rounding curve at a flfty-dnile-
an hour rate at 1880 last evening
George Williamson was Mortified to SET
ahead of him in the dusk the body OF
man lying across the rails. He
reached for the emergency brake ane
jammed 1t on full force. The great
train groaned and creaked as the shock
OF the powerful brake suddenly checked
Its flight and came to q dead stop with
the nose of the engine almost pokine
the man in the ribs.
The shock Of the phenomenal stor
was so tremendous that one OF the
heavily loaded meat cars was thrown
completely into the ditch and second
was thrown across the double-tracked
right of way Other cars were more OF
less injured. Traffic was delayed foi
several hours while a wrecking train
from Boone cleared the way.
The drunken man slept on, uncon-
scious OF the danger even when the
great engine stood almost upon aim
putting and painting and groaning with
its tremendous exertion. The engineer
and fireman hurried down to him, saw
that he was drunk, said few things
in their wrath and then shook him un-
til he was awake. Then he ambled of
down the track without giving his
name or making an apology or ten
dering his thanks for the rescue.
