LUCKY NOT
LOSE LIFE
IN WRECK
Express Messenger Able to Leave
the Hospital II Convinced that
"Day Of Miracles Has
Not Passed"

w H. English, former local agent
of the American Express company
who was injured in the Shamrock
wreck while acting as messenger, lett
the Chickasha hospital this morning
for local hotel and will remain there
until his recovery.
The marvel of the entire affair is
that Mr.. English is here among his
many friends, with only broken arm,
badly bruised leg and the victim of a
general, severe shakeup Had the
wreckage from which Mr.. English was
removed been thrust but an inch or
SO further by the force of the shock,
broken neck would have resulted,
according to the story of his expert
ences as told by Mr. English
"The fact that ] was not killed is
proof enough to my mind that the day
of miracles has not passed, said Mr.
English. when | realized what had
happened after the crash, | found my
self pinned in heap OF wreckage in
the car. So close had the wreckage
been forced in about me that ! could
move my head but an inch or so to
either side. If it had come another
inch, my neck would have been
broken / was under the wreckage
more than an hour, unable to move
any part Of my body, except my head,
and that but an inch or so. My left
arm was pinned under me and | kn' v
it was broken | thought my leg Was
also broken, but later investigation
proved that it was only severe
bruise.
q was afraid of an explosion and
fire and knew that if fire should break
out, | would be burned alive. / could
hear them working on the outside
of the car and / shouted to them, tell
ing them Of my condition. Finally
two travelling men got into the car
and worked ten minutes or more re-
moving wreckage from me. All the
time could hear the groans and cries
Of the fireman, who was pinned under
the engine and was being scalded to
DEATH
Luckily, when the wreck came,
was standing to the rear of my big
safe that weighed something like 5000
pounds. MY local safe weighing sew
eral hundred pounds, was near it
When we went over, both crashed
through the front OF the car, making
big dent in the heavy steel side
Had / been in front Of the safe, il
would have crushed me.
"The wreck occurred at about !
O'Clock at night on a curve some ter
miles from Shamrock, Tex Terrific
rains had rendered the roadbed soff
and slippery We must have beer
running 80 miles an hour and wher
the heavy train struck the curve, the
soft track would not hold and the en-
tire train, carrying the track with IL
went over. except the Pullman. Owe
that track, we should have been run
