Section Men Get a Scare

When handcar loaded with rails jumped the track in the cut south of the station, Monday morning, and a train bore down upon the four men in charge, they got a fright. Their cries attracted the attention of people on South Main street. The engineer of the approaching train saw them in time to bring his engine to stop.
 The men on the hand car started with the rails thinking they had plenty of time to unload and get their car of the track before the freight would come along. They would have had time If the car had staid on the track {, but 1t didn't. When they saw the on- coming train they became excited They Idid not know whether to run back along the track or to try to un- load. They decided upon the latter course and there was some hustling for few minutes.
 They shouted as they worked as they could not tell whether or not the en- gineer would see them. The freight was rolling along. slowly and the en. gineer saw them in time 10 stop and no harm was done.
