Uncle Mac Has a Narrow Esaape.

r Uncle Alf MoCoy was hurt worse in bis fall from the milk train Sunday night that early reports indioated, and ha is not yet able to turn himself in bed, and it will probably he quite a number of days before he will be out again. He also had a much narrower esoape from a mujh worse result than is generally known. In fact only the oiroumstanoe that Wm. Wishard was with him probably prevented his being MUed, When he stepped from iue train he was thrown with such violence, and also struok by some part of the oar that he was stunned and unable to speak or move, and it being quite dark no one saw him fall exoept Mr. Wishard, who was right behind him, and as Mr Wishard.found him, he lay only a few feet ahdad of the hind wheels of the oar and with his legs so far aoroaa the track that had the oars started they would have both been out off near the body. Bad not Mr. Wishard seen him fall no one else would and a tragio result would sorely have followed.
