to think that it is a blow from which
Albion Will not recover for years, If

HAD A CLOSE CALL.
Centervile Man Falls Under Wheels Of
MOVING Train and is Rescued.

What came near proving fatal acct
dent and one that would have marred
the pleasure of the large number or
excursionists from the south Tuesday,
occurred at the union station at 1880
o'clock when man named Bromley.
from Centerville, fell while trying to
board the excursion train as 1T was
pulling out from the south. Bromley
had been drinking. and was not any
more thar capable of getting on the
train while it was standing still, to
say nothing of when it was moving.
His legs fell directly in front of the
wheels, and had it not been for the
assistance of bystanders il Is likely tn.
man would have been killed. Officer
Clark took charge of the man. but on
the way to the police sation he met
man who claimed to be brother, and
who said he would care for him. Brom-
ley was somewhat bruised as result
of his experience.
