Sanders Is Discovered.
When the trainmen dismounted to
nee what damage had been dono to
the conveyance Sanders was discov-
ered lying across the westbound track.
To the fact that the unconscious form
of the Injured man was placed across
the westbound track is attributed his
escape from death. Had lie been
placed on the track used by all trains
bound for Tulsa ho would In all prob-
abilities have been killed by the
wheels of tho heavy engine.
Sanders was bin l ied to a local hos-
pital where physicians soon restored
