She was given over to the care of Shuck, who was holding her while the offloer went after Lato. He, however, did not stay on his Job long, for Joseph Sezekela, who happened to also be there, gave the operator a terrible blow In the face, which hurt him so badly that he let Mrs. Lato go and ran as fast as he could to the Lake Shore depot and locked himself In.
