Lake Crystal Union: Saturday pas
sengcr train No. AZ on the Elmorc
branch had a miraculous escape from
going over bridge between Blue
Earth and Winnebago. The train was
running about forty miles an hour,
when the siderod OH Engineer A. &.
McCoy's side came loose from the rear
driver. and the heavy piece of steel
began to whirl around, coming up
through the cab ut the engineers feet,
throwing him from his seat, and in
falling his feet caught in the reverse
lever and his arm became cntangled
in the door chain of the fire box.
Fireman Frank Brosnan at the first
crash. made his escape over the coal
gate. and seeing his engineer in trouble
came back and released him. The
train ran almost half mile before
being brought to stop and the bent
and twisted parts removed from the
engine. One rod was bent double. and
all the piping and air pump was strip
ped from the engine and the cab COM
pletely demolished. The engine crew
were considerably shaken up and Mccoy
somewhat bruised from his fall. but the
train proceeded TO this place about
two hours late. This is the third
accident on this branch in the last
three months. and Mccoy begins to
think it is hoodoo.
