Dick Michigan, a veteran st. Paul
engineer, yesterday proved himself a
hero in a trying moment near Little
Falls. With his train, No. 1t, of the
Northern Pacific railway, rushing
through the darkness at an easy gait,
he rounded the curve across the long
bridge out of Little Falls for Brain
erd, when his engine struck horse.
The body was rolled from end to end
across the bridge. The front trucks
of the engine left the track and
bumped the ties. Quick as fash
Michigan threw the throttle wide
open, and with his trucks hitting the
ties, the pilot shattered, one wheel
of the baggage car off the track, and
his drivewheels still clinging to the
rails, he ran over the long bridge,
saving train, passengers and crew
from destruction. Had he stopped
the train would have buckled on the
engine and all would have gone into
the river. McLagan has been an en-
gineer on the Northern Pacific for
twenty-five years. r. -
