L. A. Mitchell, Learning Of Broken
Rail, Flags Northbound Train In
Time TO Avert De-
raIiment.
TRAIN WAS GOING FAST
Train In Effort to Make up Lost Time
Certainly Would Have Been
Upset Except for
Warning.

The lives OF number of passenger
on Burlington train No. 3, which ar.
rives In Keokuk at 1855 p. m. and
continues north, were probably saved
at a late hour this afternoon by l..
A. Mitchell, water power empioye who
resides In the Anchutz house at the
foot of Anchutz hill, who tagged the
passenger train when it was going
thirty. miles an hour, preventing it
from running into broken rail.
The train was running fast at the
time in an effort to make up time be-
tween Keokuk and Montrose, having
arrived at Keokuk few minutes be-
hind the schedule time.
Six minutes before the train was
due to pass the broken Tr;l Mr.. Nit
chell, who can understand the Ian
guage of the foreigners, was told OF
the broken rail by one of them. The
rail was some distance away and fear
ing he would be unable to win in the
race against the oncoming train, re
solved to flag the train.
Having had some experience as a
railroad man and being acquainted
with the signals, Mr.. Mitchell gave the
engineer the "washout," sign and the
train came to stop in time to avoid
the danger.
Mr.. Mitchell then went forward and
signalled the passenger train over the
trouble in safety, the engineer running
his train very slowly.
