Out at Froman station this morn-

little, but kept going. The Lebanon
train was approaching and had whit
tled, but he did not hear it, not hear
ing well. Twenty-five feet o the track
fie saw the engine, too late to stop,
so he turned his car in the direction
the train was going, whir.h was what
-saved him. The car was hit at the
front end and badly mashed up, being
carried through the cattle guard" and
mashing a switch down; but strange
to tell it did not tip over, and Mr.
Hines was only slightly bruised. He
declared though that he thought he
was about to go into glory and was
surprised to find himself alive. He
waived his hat at the engineer as he
put on brakes and stopped the train. -
He says that if the engineer had
blown his whistle again when he-saw
