The climax of nerve was reached
Yesterday afternoon in the case Of
a man who was coming down Court
street shortly before J O'Clock ana
reached the tracks OF the Name
Central Railroad just in season to
hold up Train 16, the westbound
express leaving Augusta for Port
land at 90 Whether the man was
absent minded, or whether he dld
not hear or see tho train. OF did
not care. has not been asCertaincd.
as after crossing the tracks and
rausing moment to look at the
train, he kept on to the entrance Of
the station and passed from sight,
but whatever the case. he had his
nerve with him. The man must
have heard the train approaching
for when he reached the walk at the
foot of the flight of stairs leading
to the tracks the locomotive had
passed the standpipe below Win
throp street crossing and the next
moment he must have seen the big
machine, but he paid not the slight
est attention to it, nor so far are
is known did he look at it. but kept
on his way. Then the engineer
sounded warning whistle and set
the emergency brake. as the police
officer on duty at the station shout
ed warning to the man crossing
the track. The train came to a
sudden stop within very few feet
Of the cause of all the eXctment,
but the only effect that it had on
him was 10 cause him to glance at
the locomotive and then resume his
journey to the station entrance and
vanish within its portals.
