just across the river, prevented a
wreck Of the NJ. & o. northbound
morning passenger train. Mr.. Car
ter was on his way TO town, noticing
a rail cut of line he found. on ex-
animation, that il was broken. The
weather was extremely cold. but the
1 passenger was about due, so Mr.
Garter went back quite a distance
and after an hours wait tagged
U the train. The first man off was
i just little gruff, enquiring "what's
) the matter" They pulled on "p
5 slowly and from the train rather
thought the alarm was uncalled for,
& but when they got off and walked
> closer they near took Mr.. Carter
l. off his feet with good will slaps on
the back and expressions of graft
IT tude. The supervisor was on the
e train and made the remark that a
'e serious wreck had been prevented
"a and 100000 saved to the road. The
lie latter took Mr.. Carriers name down
lie from which our people believe viii
rs bring more talk later.
