Al. Day had a narrow escape from
being killed Monday morning. He was
on the east side of the track waiting
for a south-bound freight to pass.
When the caboose passed, Mr.. Day
started to cross the track, but stepped
into big snow drift on the other track
just as the 6:45 a. m. passenger train
approached. The engine picked him up
and threw him on the platform. That
no bones were broken is a miracle.
Considerable excitement was caused
for a little while Sunday afternoon
about $50 by the fighting of some
drunken hoboes in the railroad yards.
| When the 202 freight pulled in four of
| the tourists decided it was not the
right season to ride on fiat car and
changed to the warmer air of box
car. Here they found passenger
/ peacefully resting and proceeded to
beat him up and rob him of the few
pennies he had accumulated by his fru-
gal habits. They then got into q fight
among themselves as one of them, not
so drunk as the rest, objected to the
manner in which they were treating
their victim. They got out on the
ground and went to it with knives and
razors in front of the box car One of
the buns knocked another down and
then proceeded to cut his ear and neck
with a Jack knife Officers Gilman
and Walton were called to the scene of
the battle and after some difficulty ar
rested the fighters and lodged them in
the jail
