pulled out of Union Station to-day missile
struck Engineer James c. Lindberg on the
head, and his unconscious body hung half
way out of the cab window as the train
suddenly plunged ahead at terrific speed,
the throttle having been jerked open
the engineer fell back. Fireman Charles
F. Buschert sprang to the throttle and
brought the train to a standstill after its
flight of eight blocks through the railroad

Engineer Lindberg's skull was found to

from the wound. He was hurredly re-
moved to hospital without having re-
gained consciousness and his injury was
pronounced so dangerous that he probably
