Chris Cra(llebaut;h, a State Univer sity student, was taking the train tor his home in Portluud, wli ;n a couple of his fellow studeuts attempted to detain him. He struggled to escape their clutches, and at last succeeded though by that time the train was moving quite rapidly, and only one i passenger coach remained. Cradle- I baugh clutched the Iron rail of the rear end of the next coach, hut the motion of the rnpidly moving train threw him between the ends of ttie two coaches, and there he remained suspended for a few seconds. A braken an opportunely put iu an appearance almost at the instant, and drew Cradlebaugh from his perilous position onto the platform. Without help he could uot have saved himself, and his hold on the slender iron rod could have been uiuiptained but a short time. Only at one time will he be nearer death's door. Hotel Arrivals.
