Walter Drummond, While Lying on NJ.
81. Tracks Near Bridge, Hit
BY Train.

While lying on the M. & I. rail-
way tracks, in a drunken stupor,
utterly oblivious of his surround
ings and unaware Of the extreme
danger of his situation, Walter
Drummond, a lum berjack. was
struck by the south bound
freight train yesterday noon and
received injuries from which he
died within three hours.
The scene of the accident was
one mile south of Bridgie, and
how Drummond came to choose
80 dangerous place for Sleep
ing quarters is inexplainable, ex-
cept that he was much intoxi-
Gated and while trying to walk
into or from Bridge was over
come by the effects of the liquor
he had drank and went to sleep
on the rails.
The freight train, with David
Phillips as conductor. and F. D.
StiIlings as engineer, left Bridgie
shortly after noon yesterday.
While going over a raise in the
tracks, dark spot was noticed
on the tracks ahead, which was
thought to be cinders. However,
Mr. Stillings rang the bell of the
locomotive, but there we're NO
signs that the mass of black on
the rails was possessed of
life, and it was impossible to
discern that it was a human be-
ing until within a few feet of the
spot. The lever of the engine
was reversed, and the train was
dynamited, but not in time to
avoid striking the obstruction
on the track. The body was
pushed along on the rails by the
pilot of the locomotive and Sc
verely jammed, and the side of
the head crushed. The train was
stopped and the body examined.
In the pockets was found card,
bearing the name of Walter
Drummond. Although badly
crushed, Drummond was stillalive
and he was at once taken to Funk
ley. He was unconscious and died
shortly after arriving at F'unkley.
