A FIREMAN FALLS FROM ENGINE.
----------
AUSTIN, Tex., July 28. - Fireman Jack
Bean on the northbound International and Great Northern passenger train met with
quite a painful accident last night. The train is due to arrive here at 11:10 p.
m. and did not arrive until fully an hour afterward on account of the accident.
It appears that Bean was on the running board of the
engine oiling up some mechanism and in some way lost his balance and fell. His
disappearance was not discovered by Bain until he had run about a quarter of a
mile. He at once backed up the train and Bean was found lying along side the
train suffering, his injuries strange to say, were not serious.
