him. When the engineer saw he would
not get off the track he cut down. but
too late. The engine struck the unfor-
tunate fellow and threw him on the
enbankment. The train was stopped
and the wounded man carried to
Blackstock, where medical attention
was given him. However, it was too
late and he soon passed away.
