SAVES TWO FROM DEATH
FATHER AND SON CAUGHT ON EN-
CINE PILOT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept 10
Gustav Kastner and his son Albert
were saved from death beneath the
wheels of the engine Of Il freight train at
the kinnickinnic avenue crossing TINS
morning through the quick wit of Pa
trolman Ennis.
Kastncr and his son were driving over
the crossing in Il rig when the engine OF
Il freight train on the NOrth-W eStern
road struck the rig and carried ii along
several yards on the coW-catchcr.
The engine was moving so slowly that
the shock was not great enough to throw
the men out, and Patrom0n Ennis who
saw the accident ran over and with main
strength tore the light buggy off the pro-
lection upon which it was caught on the
front of the engine While the train
WAS moving slowly the engineer could
not stop it quickly because it was long,
heavy freight, and the occupants of
the buggy in all probability would have
fallen from their seats under the wheels
of the train had not the officer released
the rig.
Neither of the men was injured aud
the horse also escaped injury. The buggy
was demolished.
