Tuesday, Oct. 10, was the twenty fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. S.B.

Jacob Vail, living north of town had occasion to go to Worthington one day last week, and came to this place to board the train. It appears that he was late in getting his ticket and when he was ready to purchase the train was in and Agent West was busy checking out freight. When that work was completed the train started, but Mr. Vail decided not to be left anyway and grabbed the handrail at the front of the coach. He would have boarded the train safely had not his foot slipped, letting him down between the car and platform, where he hung by his hands until the train had gone far enough to release him from his perilous situation. A less athletic man would probably have been unable to keep his hold, and a slip would have insured his being ground to death under the wheels.
