bound, ran for miles with no guiding
hand at the throttle and with the 800
passengers in the coaches calmly gaz.

fact that they were riding on a run
away train, says Battle Greek

Finishing his work on the tender
the fireman returned to the cab to
find the engineers seat vacant. He
bought the train to a stop and backed
itsup until the engineer was found, ly.

and left leg broken, one shoulder
crushed, and his skull fractured.
1t is supposed the engineer lost his

He was taken to Nichols hospital

chance that he might recover.
