CLOSE CALL TO DEATH.
Santa Fe Fireman Struck by a Mail
Crane.

Newton, Kan, Feb. A Santa Fe
fireman on No. 81, a few nights ago,
narrowly escaped serious injury and
perhaps death The engine pulling the
train was big prairie type and while
passing through Stafford, the fireman,
was standing in the gangway of the
engine looking out. He was struck by
a mail bag fastened to the crane, a
severe cut on the temple resulting. His
escape from serious injury is indeed
remarkable as the large engines now
used only clear the mail cranes about
four inches.
