Fireman Had Narrow Escape.

Robert H. Stephenson, fireman on
the p R. r., was injured in the yards at
Falls Creek about three o'clock last
Friday morning and had very narrow
escape from sudden death. His engine
was hauling fast freight west and
when the train was running into Falls
Creek, where car was to be set off,
Fireman Stephenson was looking back
for signal and the right side OF his
head, just back OF ear, and right shoul-
der collided with box car that had
not been run into siding far enough to
clear the cab OF big freight engine
sufficiently for man to look out for
signals. Had 1t not been that brake
man was sitting on same side OF engine
with the fireman he would likely have
been knocked off of the engine. Fire.
man Stephenson was brought to his
home in West Reynoldsville. He will
likely be able to 60 to work again in
u few days.

$500 on three checks which he claimed
were forged.
AT the session Of the court yesterday
morning evidence was taken at great

were called to the stand to testify 10
the genuineness OF the signatures OF
the negro who had witnessed the sig
nature OF Sam Eubanks on each check
in question. Half of the cashiers were
OF the opinion that the signatures
were genuine, and half Of them testi-
lied that they were forgeries. -Four
other handwriting experts from yari-
Gus business houses of the city were
called to the stand, and they were OF
the opinion that the signatures were
forgerfes.
on the stand Sam Eubanks declared
that he did not sign the checks. nor
did he authorize them to be signed.
The negro witness on the checks de-
Shared that he did not sign the checks.
and that the three signatures In ques-
ton were forgeries, pure and simple.
\ The taking Of the testimony Of the
handwriting experts occupied the at
tentlon of the court during all of the
morning session of the court. the
preiiminaries in the case having been
settled on the afternoon of the pre-
vious day.
