Minister Asleep Walked From Fast Moving Train.

Rev. J. P. Green started to Chicago last Tuesday morning on the tnilk train and fell into conversation with several who were enrOute to South Bend. He asked them where they changed cars and was told at Shelby. Before that station was reached he dozed off and was sleeping when the train stopped there. A little later he dreamed that Shelby was his stopping place and that he was being carried by and he jumped up and ran to the door of the car and jumped off the train. The train was moving rapidly and it Is a wonder that he was not killed but by some good fortune he escaped serious injury and was able f» walk back to the station, where he waited until the afternoon train and went on to Chicago. Since returning home he has been confined to the house on account of the bruises he sustained but is getting Along very well and expects to be sufficiently recovered to preach the Memorial Berman Sunday morning. Rev. Green has for some time been working considerably at night, assisting in bread baking and has been in the habit of walking in bis sleep lately. It looks as though it would hardly be safe for him to undertake a trip by himself while in this condition.
