HEAD BROKEN, STUCK TO POST

Express Messenger Remained in Car With Money Package at End of Run. t ■ e ' His skull fractured in two places and able only to retain consciousness by will pow-er, Gaorge S. Whitney, an express messenger on a Lake Shore train, stuck to his post for nearly two hours until his train arrived in Buffalo. He then lapsed into unconsciousness and was removed to a hospital. He probably will die. When Whitney left Cleveland at 8:30 a. m. an unusually large sum of money was placed in his charge. At Dunkirk he looked out of the car door just as it slammed shut, catching his head. He refused to go to the Dunkirk hospital, insisting that he must deliver the money packages at Buffalo.
