Deputy sheriffs in Imperial coun-
ty have to travel in some strange
places to reach the corpus deficit
sometimes.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Raney was
faced with a problem Tuesday when
attempting to reach a dead man
under a railroad bridge west of
Ogilby. There was no highway to
the bridge, no road, IL trail. 1t was
a warm da" for a long hike on the
desert in eastern Imperial county.
Raney mopped his brow and groan-
ed.
Railway section men offered to
build bridge up the railroad en-
bankment, across the tracks, and
down on the other side. Raney
thought he could reach the body
by driving aiopg q rocky ridge on
the other side of the tracks and
walking q long wash for a short
distance.
The bridge was built and Raney
started easing his car over the
shaky affair All went well until
he reached the tracks. There the
temporary bridge went haywire and
the car slipped off the ties and
stuck in the center of the tracks.
AT that moment Raney and the
section men saw a troop train
cannonballing toward them. Talk
about speed! That troop train ap-
peared TO be standing still when
compared to the activity of the
human beings around the stalled
car.
1t turned out all right. The train
was stopped. tne stalled car and
temporary bridge removed from the
tracks.
