his men, who were on their way to
work.
Ranck was unconscious when found
and Markwith's ambulance conveyed
him to the office of DIR. N. Sifritt at
LaRue where he was given attention.
The injured man was soon revived
but was unable to explain his fall
from the train. He told DR.. Slfritt
that the last he remembers was being
on top OF the freight close to the en-
gine, when the train went through
LaRue.
Ranck doubtless received q hard
fall off the moving train and 1t Is
that he was not killed or
very seriously injured. The physicien,
found that he received deep cut on
the head which rendered him uncon-
scious and kept him in that state
throughout the long night while trains
passed by him In both directions.
He was otherwise bruised and his
torn but hardly as much as
one would expect when his fall from
the car top of moving train Is con-
sidered
After Ranck's injuries were given
attention and he had recuperated
somewhat he was placed aboard Big
Four train No. "a and taken to Berea,
his home.
Last night at IL o'clock when the
freight was sotpped here 1t was dis
covered that Ranck was missing. a
search was made for him and word
