the Interurban car was making
its way to New Iberia to run out
at 8 o'clock, a negro passenger
had an experience that nearly
cost him his life and which he
will long remember. When the
car reached the Nelson Canal
the negro wanted to get off and
instead of waiting for the car to
stop, deliberately Jumped off and
over the wall down and into the
canal. 1t was a few seconds be-
fore the crew could bring it to
a stop and all of the passengers
thought he had killed himself by
his foolish effort to get off while
it was running. He was heard
down at the bottom of the big
canal and matches were struck
and he was pulled out minus 4
couple of teeth and a few bruises.
Had there been plenty Of water
in the basin Of the canal at the
time he would have been drowned
but fortunately for him, he had
plunged down into the soft mud
which saved his life.
