Rode Forty Miles Covered With Coal—Will Recover.

When the Big Four passenger train from Indianapolis arrived in Lafayette at 3 o’clock Monday morning, the engineer called a policeman into the cab to help him extricate Ray Lindsey, of Stockwell, Ind., from beneath the coal in the tender. He boarded the train at Indianapolis. At Lebanon he started over the tender to ask the engineer for a match. The coal fell on him, leaving only his feet protruding. He rode forty miles in this way, but was still alive, and will recover.
