ged his body across the track
with the idea that the next train
coming along would finish their
tiendish work. He managed to
crawl off the track, however, and
thus saved his life.
Hawkins was brought back
from Calhoun Friday afternoon
and yesterday he had sufficiently
recovered his strength to tell the
sheriff a we'll connected story of
the affair. 1t remains TO be seen
whether the man is telling the
truth or not. Relatives of the
men say that the story Is a myth,
and circumstances will be called

In view OF what HawKins snys
