BOY INJURED
BY A WAGON

Charles Dafsik, of 263 Barclay
street, who is about six years old,
lies at the city hospital in a serious
condition, the result of being run
over by horse and wagon on Bar
clay street yesterday afternoon. An
other boy was also injured, but only
slightly, and did not require physi-
clan.
Dafcik had his lower jaw broken
and was badly cut over the right eye.

INJURED, BUT
STILL A HERO

Though suffering intense pain
from a broken hip, sustained in a
tumble down steep embankment,
Charles Deyo, a Great Northern
brakeman, dragged himself back
up the incline to switch and
saved the Oriental Limited from
disastrous wreck at Dryden. Wash,
last Sunday night. Deyo is now in
the Sacred Heart hospital taking
treatment for his injuries.
His train took the switch at
Dryden at rather rapid rate in
order to clear the track in time for
the speeding passenger train COM
ing only short way ahead. AS
Deyo. the rear brakeman of the
freight. lowered himself from the
caboose steps to turn the switch,
he lost his footing and was fairly
hurled over the rocks and hard
ground, to the foot of the embank-
ment on which the tracks are
built.
His work of struggling with his
paining. helpless limb dragging be-
hind him up the bank to the switch
and turning that to give the pas
senger train clear track is con-
sidered a very heroic deed. at least
1t is figured that many lives on
the limited would have been snuff
ed out and the train would likely
have been piled up in the ditch
had not Deyo reached the switch
in time.

Mr.. Rochester, the representative
of one of the competing bidders,
said: ""The people can thank The

city. 1t put the Exshaw people on
their mettle and they gave figure
that will save the taxpayers just

The Exshaw bid is backed by the
company. with its capital of
$1,500.000. The officers of the COM
pany, in conference here with Mr..
Wagner, agreed to make the cut
as an answer to the attack that
had been made on their former

PENSIONS FOR
RAILROAD men
NEW YORK GENITAL LINES
WILL RETIRE 1765 MEN
ON JANUARY -
(ey United Press.l

10y OuIteO PreSSsf
CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-The New
York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Co., the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern Railway Co.
and the Michigan Central Railroad
Co. adopted a plan for a pension
system for the employees of all
these lines. It's extension to the
other principal lines of the system
is also under consideration.
More than 100000 employees will
come within its provisions, and il
means an expenditure by the sys
tenn of 100000 annually.
Under the plan employees on be-
looming 10 years old will be retired
If they have been in the service
of one of the companies continu
ously for 10 years Immediately pre-
ceding their retirement they will
be entitled to a pension. An EN-
ploye who has been 20 years in
! continuous service and has become
unfit for duty may be retired with
a pension, although he has not
reached the age of 70 years.
The amount of the pension Is
per cent for each year of con
tinuous service, based upon the av
erage rate of pay received for the
10 years preceding retirement.
This means that an engineer, for
instance, whose salary has been
$500 a year and who has been In
the service 40 years will receive a
pension of $50 a month, or $500 a
year. And it does not in any way
restrict his future activities. He
may go into any business he chooses
to- The pension system will be-
come effective January 1. and with
in the next year 1765 men will be
retired.
