'JUMPSCLEAR OF

Theodore Erdman Miraculously Es-
capes Instant Death on Gene
SEQ Tracks
Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Ill, Nov. 14.-Theodore
Erdman narrowly escaped instant
death early Saturday morning
when he jumped out of the auto
mobile as it was crossing the rail-
road tracks at the freight office
just before it was struck by an east
bound train.
A train had passed through on
the main tracks and Mr.. Erdman
was looking toward the east for
the possibility of another train,
when he was startled by a call and
turning toward 1.-The west saw an
engine very close upon him. He
succeeded in jumping out of the
automobile as it was struck by the
train. The auto was carried before
the train for distance of at least
100 feet, and was then pulled back
to the street crossing and taken from
the tracks.
The automobile was badly dam
aged. The tenders and body were
smashed, the left front wheel was
crushed and the frame of the car
was bent. The car will be returned
to the Hudson factory for rebuild
ing. Those who witnessed the &C
cident considered it miraculous
that Mr.. Erdman was able to get
out of the car and thereby avoid in
juries. AS the train struck the au-
tomobile fuIl-side it seemed that
Mr.. Erdman would be ground under
the wheels in the crash and result
ing debris.
