ESCAPED SERIOUS INJURY
Caught Between Jiumpers of Freight
Cars and Dragged Several Feet Be.
fore leing Freed.
C. M. Freeland, flagman on the
GreenivIle branch of the 'C. & W. C.
railroad, had a harrowing experience
in the local freight yards Wednesday,
morning when he was caught between
tle bumpers of freight cars and drag
ged several yards before the train w
brought to a stop. Mr. Freeland, with
several others, were repairing the
htumipter on a freight car attgeled to
two other cars and was lifting the
bumper with both hands 'whon ihe
st iug of ears behind hin) rolled upon
him nolselessly and pinned liim be
tween the bumper' which he was lift
ug anl the bumper of the approaching
car. Ile did not receive warning in
time to free himself so lhe was ertushed
let weein tle heavy weights of the Cars
and borlie some istance while sits
pende(ld in le irll'. liiurr'iied sigials
were waved to 1nigineer 'Myers, Who
was oil the engine behind himl, and the
tra in brought to a stop but not before
Mir. Freeland was able to extrioate
hilmself. Whilie le was not. unc'onselous
when taken out le was so dazed that
he Was tliable to recover his presence

withoit a parallel in thb" history of

S'lie cause of file ni"Ce'm(tli is, of
('OuI-se, a su)ject of argument. Engi
