R'y, in chanjo of Pat. norn as engineer and M. J.. McEntoor, conductor, was running at a gwid siioed justalHivo Pancoast tho train mudo a quick stop. Up went tho car windows und a rush was mado for tho doors to see what was tho matter. A short dis taneo in tlio rear of tho train something was lying in a heap In tho middle of the track. Oh, horror! had another victim been run down by tho merciless iron horso? A man, woman and littlo girl who lived in a house hardhy ran out and the conductor and a number of passen gers ran back to look at what thoy sup posed to lie the mangled remains of something. It was a sheepskin, and nothing moro. The engineer and fire man avow that some ono pulled tho "stop boll'' on them. No one in tho train could bo found who had pulled the bell or who hail soon anyone pull it. If tho bell did ring, was it the work of a ghost ? The sheepksin was laid across tho rail so that tho engineer and fire man could not tell what it was, and to bo on tho safe sldo Horn applied tho air, but ho will not glvo in that the bell did not ring. Pat Horn is a little man but ho can haul a passenger or freight train over the road as fast as any of them, In fact a little too fast for real comfort when behind timo. Railroad men are ever and anon hav ing cxporlenoos. In tho early days of. the Low Grade railway when considera ble oil was shipicd ovor the road and freight trains ran on through to Rono vo, Put Horn mado the fastost run ever made on the P. & E. railroad. In those days stub switches were used which run a train off tho track if turned wrong. Thero were two sections off the Low Grade, Horn was hauling the first sec- tion, which pulled In on a siding six miles this side of Re novo to pass a P. & E. train, the second section being too late to make that siding. After the P. & E. train passed Horn started with his train for Renovo and the flagman neg lected to turn the switch after the train got out ot the siding and it was not un til they had pulled into the yard at Ronovo that the mistake was discov ered. Horn know that it meant a big wreck and sure death to perhaps three or four of the crew who were following him if that switch was not thrown for the Main track. His brother was firing for him and he said, "here, you get off and let this brakeman fire for me, one Horn is enough on this engine just now," and his engine was cut loose from the train and Horn started back for that switch, and it is said he went back like a whirlwind. His engine hud just been stopped and the switch turned when the second train off the Low Grade went thundering by. The crew were , surprised to see Horn there with his engine and no train or crew, yet they gave him a friendly wave of the hand as they passed by, little thinking of what an awful death he had barely saved them from. When the Low Grade road was being built Mike J. McEnteor was conductor on tho gravel train and a reckless fol low by name of Jim Costello was his engineer. A muu was killed at Summit tunnel and the gravel train was sent after the corpse to haul It to a town down tho road for burial.
