Young Hero Stops Runaway Wagons At Depot
Two runaway dray teams and a single horse surged near the B A P depot as a Butte evening train arrived. Florance Marchion, a teamster, leapt onto a wagon tongue, seized the lines, and halted both teams in the gutter within two minutes. A second horse also rerouted, while Marchion calmly rescued his hat and a bystander praised his nerve. Witnesses hailed him hero of the hour.
