Police man St. Clair had noticed him there and thought that possibly that he was drunk. He thought of the mans danger and was going up the steps to place him under arrest when a car came along.
 After the front truck of the car passed Nation he slid from his seat and fell on the tracks, the wheels of the rear truck catching his foot
