Leatherman of the Illinois Central railroad, speeding through the darkness twenty miles an hour with the rear lights of the first section in view, turned in his seat to see why his engineer, Louis Bullock, didn't slow down for Big Cllfty, and discovered the engineer huddled on the floor of the cab with a smear of blood on his face. Leatherman brought the train to a standstill In time to avoid a collision and then turned his attention to the unconscious engineer, who apparently had been struck by a rock which was lying beside him among splinters of glass from the shattered cab window. Physicians at Big Cllfty pronounced Bullock’s Injuries not serious.
