there. Emily, who claims to be his other

car was being transferred from the
Great Northern road to the Minneapolis
& st. Louis, and Larbetski, busy at his
work, did not notice, the approaching
train. The cars backed down on him
and as he fell beneath the wheels he
called piteously to his friends for help.
Other section men called frahtically
fol the trainmen to stop, but not until
the third car had passed over the man
was the order obeyed. &c..
Then the train was slowed down fol
moment, while. some of the men
looked under the cars and saw the
crushed body. --..-.
Seeing no signs of life, another sig
nal was given and the remaining foul
cars were pushed back over the body
and the switching went on as usual
The other section men then guarded the
tracks and Deputy Coroner Irvine was
summoned. He made thoro inquiry
into the manner of the man s death, but
has not yet decided whether to hold al
inquest. O..
