TIED TO r. R. RAILS BY THIEVES
Farmer and Son Beaten Unconscious
and Former Bound to Track.

Farmer ana oOn DCaASH NiiSSii~S'N~~
and Former Bound to Track.
Pittsburg. Jan 9.-After being bru-
tally beaten by highwaymen, and
while his son, also assaulted, lay I'M
conscious nearby, Frank Mason, a
Beaver county farmer, was tide to the
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad
pear Beaver. and escaped being
crushed to death by wrenching him
self free of his bonds just as the
Cleveland-Pittsburg flyer was thunder
ing down upon him.
Mason was driving along a lonely
country road, preceded a short dis
lance by his son and another team.
Two men jumped for Mason after the
son had passed and demanded his
money. Mason showed fight and was
battling with the robbers, when his
son, missing his father, turned back
and was almost instantly knocked IN
conscious. The older man, Infatuated
by the treatment of his son, renewed
his fight and was beaten into insensi-
bilitv with stones. His body was then
dragged to the railroad track and tied
to the rails.
Regaining consciousness, Mason
realized his predicament and began to
struggle to release himself. He was
unable to release the cords and had
almost abandoned hope, when he
heard the rumble of the approaching
flyer. With one last desperate effort,
he mana god tr, free himself and crawl
from the track just as the headlight
of the engine sent a CLEAN along the
rails where he had been lying.
After resting and recovering from
a state of collapse, Mason dragged
himself to a farm house and told his
story. The son was found lying I'M
conscious and was revived with diff
Guilty. Both men will recover, though
their injuries are serious. Mason says
he recognized his assailants, and war
rants were sworn out for their arrest.

ERIeHrFuLLY HURT IN RUNAWAY
Baby Killed and Woman and Three
Children Trampled Upon.

New York, Jan. 8.-A runaway team
dashed into a crowd at a First avenue
crossing, killing a baby in its carriage,
and so injuring the child's mother and
three other children that they can
hardly survive.
As the driverless team, drawing a
heavy truck, turned into the avenue,
Mrs. Minnie Klappel, pushing a car
rage occupied by her 16-month-old
boy, Sidney, and with another son,
Harry, aged 4. and a daughter, Mile.
6 years old, on either side, started fol
the opposite curb. With them were
Frank Sohn, aged 3, and Frederick
Leachman, z years old. The woman
saw their peril and made a frantic eff
fort to get her charges back to the
curb. Only Mile escaped. The baby
was crushed to death, while Mrs. Klap-
pei and the other three children were
trampled upon.
Removed senseless to a hospital, all
were found to be frightfully injured,
in each case internal wounds being
probably serious enough to cause
death.
The momentary check to the run
aways as they stumbled among the
victims permitted others in the ave-
nue. to escape. The team was stopped
by policemen, who arrested Alexander
Taggert, the driver, who is alleged to
have left his horses in the street. He
was charged with homicide, after he
had been dragged through a threaten
ing crowd to a police station.
