Local freight train No. 67 put a car
in on the sidetrack at the shuttle
siding with the intention of stopping
1t at the depot. Paul Deaton, brake
man, who was on the car, made an
effort to stop 1t when he reached the
station, but the brakes were defec-
tive and the wheels moved on faster
and faster. Realizing the danger,
Mr.. Deaton dismounted the car, out
ran 1T and threw piece Of heavy
scantling in front Of it, which re-
duced the speed to some extent. BY
presence of mind, when it reached
the oil mill switch, fully half mile
from where 1T started, Mr.. Deaton
turned the lever after the forward
trucks had passed over, thus start
ing the forward wheels on the main
line and the rear wheels on the sid
ing, which derailed the car and
brought 1T to standstill. In a few
minutes this car, If let alone, would
have doubtless become an agent of
destruction, as No. rs, Southbound
freight, was due and expected at any
moment. Oftentimes in the hum
blest walks of life there are heroes
unsung, for whom no polished shafts
