Conductor Has Narrow Escape From Death.

With. Mauck, conductor on Monon freight No. 74, had a harrow escape from death here Wednesday evening while the engine was picking up some cars near the cattle pens. Mr. Mauck was riding on the head end of a car and jumped oft to make a coupling, striking on some ice he slipped and his leg rolled under the wheels of the moving cars, bruising the flesh quite badly, but fortunately not breaking any bones. He was attended here by a physician and was then removed to his home in Lafayette that night on the 11 o’clock.
