Man rescued from Western Maryland Railroad
accident
American Sentinel, October 9, 1897.
A man who gave the name of John Adams attempted
to steal a ride on the Western Maryland Railroad, from this city, on Saturday
last, and would have lost his life if he had not been discovered and rescued by
an employee of the road.
He endeavored to board a freight train, but
missed his footing, and would have fallen under the wheels if he had not been
caught and supported until the train was stopped.
Justice J. Hoffman Fuss held him for a hearing
until Monday and then committed him to the county jail, for thirty days, for
violating the law in relation to stealing rides on railroads.
