the point where the tragedy occurred.
The tracks of this branch skirt the rear
of cemetery and are protected by a
railing composed of three rows of heavy
wire, while the crossing is protected by
a gate composed of two long arms which
are worked automatically from another
point. No regular tlagman, it is under
stood, is stationed at this point.
AS the train approached within few
hundred feet of the crossing Engineer
Salzman was for moment unable to be-
lieve his eyes when he caught sight
of the form of woman clad in deep
black deliberately walking across the
track and turning her face in the d.
rection OF his train. His hand clutched
the whistle rope and he blew several
shrill blasts.
The woman paid no attention, but
continued to walk toward the fast
approaching train, and Salzman real
lied that he must act quickly and i'm
mediately applied the air brakes.
At the time he was leaning half out
of the cab window. and as the train
drew nearer and nearer to the woman
he saw her face and wild eyes and her
hands raised as if to ward off the blow
she knew was coming from the locomo
tive. Salzman was spellbound by the
sight and he made frantic efforts to
stop the train before it struck the
woman and he not only threw back the
throttle but reversed the engine wheels.

CAPTURE DUMB WILD MAN
Tennessee Wanderer Believed IN uo1o

War.

Huntingdon, Tenn.-A wild man has
been captured near Luray, Henderson
county, in lonely part of Forked Deer
bottom, after giving his pursuers a
hard race.
For some time the negroes of
that section have claimed that thew
could hear a curious noise at night
but the white people paid little atten-
ton to them. They finally claimed
they saw wild man and four or five
white men went to the bottom a few
nights since in search of him. About II

the party, fell fiat on the ground and
uttered Shrek after shrek, He then

The party, with lighted lanterns. fol-
lowed the tracks in the mud and twice
got glimpse of the man. After a long
chase the party came to a hollow pop-
lar log that had been blown down. An
investigation revealed tracks in til
log and later the form of a man was
discovered in the far end of the log in
a STOPPING position. He was captured
and proved to be perfectly harmless.
His only covering was a long growth
OF hair. The man seemed to be ra-
tional at times, but had lost his nower
OF speech. In niche of the t,ee was
found an old federal cap and in
another place was found what appeared
to be paper, but on closer examina-
ton proved to be writing. It was
dated 1868, and was an order to Gen.
Grant, but it could not be told who it
was from.
1t Is the general opinion around Lu-
ray that the man was a scout during
the war and got lost in the bottom and
finally became mentally unbalanced
and later wild.

CHOSE DEATH IN
AWFUL FORM
WOMAN FACES FAST ENGINE
AND IS GROUND TO PIECES.
A PLAIN CASE OF SUICIDE.
Fails to Heed Warning Of Engineer
Who Is Unable to Avert Trag-
edy Remains Scattered
Along the Roadbed.

New York-With bloodless cheeks,
staring eyes and hands raised as if in
supplication Mrs. Sadie c. Hanrahan,
AZ years old, of this city, deliberately
walked in front of a. fast-moving train
on the Manhattan Beach branch of the
Long Island railroad, at Moffat street
and Central avenue crossing, and was
ground to death beneath the wheels.
In this shocking manner the woman
ended life which had been made
wretched through an unfortunate mar
riage. The manner of her death leads
the police and her relatives who are
Frustrated over her horrible death to
believe that long years Of worry had
unbalanced her mind.
The death of the woman was quick,
and as the train rolled on under it's mo-
mentum the road bed for many feet was
strewn with portions OF her body. 1t
was CHASTITY sight for the women and
even the men passengers on the train
who leaped to their feet when the fran
tic engineer applied the air brakes in
his efforts to stop the train. The speed
of the train was reduced with a bad
jolt, which at first threw the passengers
from their seats, and.as they scrambled
to their feet they rushed for the doors.
They all insisted on getting off, and
many of the women regretted this step
when they caught sight Of portions of
the woman's body and clothing, which
had left horrible trail behind the train.
Several women uttered piercing
shrieks and were carried into the train
again in a hysterical condition, while
men were compelled to turn their heads
to shut out the awful sight, The tu-
multi caused a gathering of people, who
crowded about the spot, and in doing so

Boston.-Dr. W. R. Read, a graduate

he had diagnosed his own case as the
attack came on. 1t read as follows:

had visited the building and was con-
WINGED that everything had been left
all right.
His thoughts Immediately turned to
burglars, who were apparently making
free with the clubs property. Dressing
himself in haste, lie left the house, and,
crossing the ground, approached the
pavilion, where the light was still burn
ing.
Through the window he distinctly
saw the form of man, who had
donned a red, amber and black jersey,
the well-known colors Of the Bradford
club.
Wondering what a burglar could be
doing with club jersey, Jennings pro-
duced the key and entered the pavilion
with the policeman A careful exami-
nation showed that everything was in
order. Apparently nothing had been
touched, and there was absolutely no
evidence that anyone had been in the
building.
But the groundman is sure he saw
the light and the visitor. The story
was the only topic Of conversation
among the crowd of spectators who
watched the match which was played
on the grounds the next day.
The more superstitious recalled the
fact that only few days before Joe
HaWkridge, the one-time famous three
quarter, died in San Francisco from ty-
phoid fever. 1T was his ghost" they
declared, taking last look around his
old haunts."
1t was even suggested that "Joe' de-
sired to see his old club repeat some Of
the glorious victories in which he had
assisted in the past, and, curiously
enough, the match resulted in the
Bradford team winning by 33 points to
two. Was there a sixteenth player in
the home team?

RHEUMATISM IN TWOSEVEREO GASES

Tho Remedy Used by Mr.. Schroeppel and
by Captain Balfour In Great Demand In
Vicinity Of Their Homes.
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at.
tack Of rheumatism. His Doctors treat.
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse.
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu.
siasm.
"After five or six weeks of helpless.
ness and pain" said he. "during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother. q woman eighty years of
age, paid me a visit. She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, aud she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation I gave up
the doctors treatment aud took the pills
in its place."

"Absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result aud my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills."
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One Of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Gap

salz*ary results in Mr.. Schroeppel' 8 case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack Of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight

free from the painful ailment."
