I do not know what hap- pened on the steps. A moment later someone came into the car and said the man had fallen into the creek.. “The conductor went out to the steps of the car. One or two I got off and tried to see if anything could be done. The darkness was in- tense and we could hear no sound. “The conductor told a young man standing near to see if he could find the man who had been put off the car.

He simply told him he must get of. The man seemed dazed. “The condyctor called the porter and the man was hustled off the car. The treatment given him was anything but gentle. A moment later the report spread that he had fallen off the bridge. there is no railing on the bridge across the creek. The tles project per- haps a foot beyond the train.
