If the unknown man who fell off the
platform, steps of a rapidly moving
excursion train on the Southern Pa
cific, near Clackamas station last night,
desires any eye witnesses in case he
brings action against the company, at
least three persons stand ready to aid
him. One is Louis How, a chinaman,
of 23S Flanders street, Archie Wenner
of Lents, and Archie Capp, of the eaat
side.
According to eye witnesse to the
affair the accident occurred about 9:30
o'clock last night. The train was the
first section of the 8alem excursion
returning to Portland from the state
fair. Said one passenger:
"Every car on the train was packed
to suffocation with people. Men and
women were standing In the aisles. I
was trying to get from one car to an
other when -tne accident occurred, i
as we rounded a curve some one said
a man had fallen off and Mr. Capp
pulled the bell cord to stop the train.
Others said that Louie How. a China
man, tried to keep the man from fall
ing off but was unable to do so. I
counted 28 people crowded onto the
platforms of the two connecting
coaches at the time of the accident.
"When some railroad man came along
and asked who was fooling with the
bell cord and trying to stop the train
he wa very Insulting and abusive In
his manner after being told what the
matter was. Let the next section
pick him up,' said the trainman.
The train proceeded, and whether
the man waa seriously ininrarf nr nnt
has not been learned. The train was going
at the ordinary speed trains observe In
that section and It was very
dark It Is almost lmnosslhin that th.
man could have escaped without ro-
wa trying to find my wife. Suddenly I celving some injury.
