Train Perils Fisherman But He Guards Catch
White haired 68-year-old J. G. Alexander of West Hickory saved his life and a prize string of 16 catfish by hanging with one hand from a 30 foot railroad trestle as a freight train roared past. He started across after a prior train and did not see the second until nearly on him. He leaped as the signal block scraped his leg and cut his left hand to the bone, yet held on until the engineer stopped the train and pulled him back to the trestle.
