John Burnett, met with Il painful
accident while walking on Stirrup Run
trestle, on the Maryland Pennsylvania
Railroad, between Sharon and Ferncliif,
on Monday morning. In company with
his brother, the two were crossing the
structure when the northbound train
bore down upon them. They made an
effort to escape, which the other brother
was successful in doing, but John in rum
ming, fell and was caught between the
track and the guard rail. The train was
going at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour. The engineer brought it to a
standstill just as it stood over the young
mans body. 1t was narrow escape
from DEATH but nevertheless he received
a number of painful wounds. DR.. ARM
field F. VanBibbcr rendered the necessary
surgical attention. This should prove a
lesson to persons trespassing on the rail-
road property. 1t is always dangerous
undertaking and foo!-hardy action to
thus to save a little time.
