ing on East Main street and his fire.
man. Verne Crawford who resides on
South Pierce street, mad narrow es-
cape from being burned to death, last
night at Greencamp.
While Erie train No. 72 was running
about 10 miles an hour, ten miles east
of Lewisburg last evening. the lift pipe
OF the engine which carries the steam
and smoke to the smoke stack came
down shutting off the draft of the en-
sine and causing the flames from the
FIRE box to come back into the face Of
Fireman Crawford and filling the en-
gine cab with fire.
Mr. Crawford, stated this afternoon
that he was putting in fire at the time
cnd when the flames came back i'm his
face he was forced to jump at once,
as the steel doors on the tender of the
engine which are used to keep the
coal from coming down into the cab
formed back ground, which confined
the flames to the cab.
After Crawford had jumped he at
tempted to get on the train at about
+ the center and cut the air hose and
stop the train. but his eye was burn
ed so badly that he could not see well
enough to catch a handle but managed
to get on the caboose and notify tho
conductor who put the emergency ON
at once.
Nothing could he learned from en-
Igineer Fletcher at this time as he is
confined to his bed from the injuries
sustained. as he was not so fortunate
as the fireman in getting off the engine
I and the result was that he received
more burns before he jumped. The
cab of the engine was completely des-
ItYoyed by the flames. Both men were
brought to Gallon and were removed
to their homes where they were at
tended by Drs. Morgan and Brickley
and it was found that besides being
badly burned about the face and head
hLth men We're considerably bruised
lup from jumping. They are resting
this afternoon as wen as could be ex.
pected after their miraculous escape
