JACKETS NEUTRALITY
DID NOT SAVE HIM

Being neutral in discussions bear
ing on the present European war isn't
always the safest way Andrew Jacket,
travelling from California to Oklaho'
ma, discovered Saturday. Jacket is
in the Fremont county hospital at
Canon City suffering from serious in
juries received when he was thrown
from moving freight train by two
men
The traveller had walked from Sail
da to Canon City, where he boarded
an east-bound freight train. He climb
ed into a box car and found four
other men having an argument regard
'ng the merits of the various coun'
rrles engaged in the war. A G er lan,
an Englishman, an Irishman and an
Austrian made up the quartet.
The four were having lively de.
bate and hecause Of 2 lack of judges
they could not determine who was
getting the best of the argument
When Jacket climbed into the car,
the difficulty apparently was instant
ly solved and he was asked to be
referee. Jacket refused to accept
the nomination on the grounds that
he knew nothing of the war. He
c. lined To be neutral.
His refusal to settle the argument
xlahatarc fhnv
threw him IN the train. Jackets
neck was dislocated by the fall but
he managed to walk the two miles
to Florence where he dropped on
the depot platform. Doctors were
summoned, and after considerable
work the dislocated bones were put
in place. Saturday night he became
worse and It was found that he was
suffering from injuries to his spine
and it was necessary to remove him
to the hospital While his condition
is thought to be serious the probabili-
ties are that he viii recover. He
may be permanently crippled
After the doctors relieved him Sat
urday afternoon Jacket was able to
tell the Florence police about the af-
fair and gave good description OF
the four men. The Pueblo, police
were asked to apprehend them, but
no trace of the quartet was found.
II is presumed they left the train
soon after ejecting the neutral Jacket.
