William Jennings is a gentleman I who seems to have a charmed life, I says the Trail Creek News The I stories told of the wounds be has I received and the adventures he has I passed through would make an in- I teresting story. Perhaps as close a I call as he ever had happened on I Smelter Hill last Thursday night. I He is working on the night shift. I At the time mentioned he had I crawled under the engine and was I engaged in packing up some of the I valves. The engineer was in ignore I ance of Mr. Jennings presenceJ'Hn- I der the engine, aud stepping into I his accustomed seat started the lo- I comotive in motion down the track. I The unfortunate Jenning, realizing 1 bis perilous position, immediately I grabbed a bar and~ysied for dear I life. He was thus dragged fully too feet before the engine was stop- t.ped. Barring a few bruises on the I legs he escaped without injury. ■ The escape was miraculous. I Mr. Tannings, we are told, in the i Soudan in 1885, had a-spear run I through bis head, and was left on I the field for dead. He was then a I British soldier. At another time I the wheels of a heavy cannon pass- I ed over his feet and lower limbs, I putting them badly out of shape, ■ but he still walks without much ■difficulty. He has been shot and ■cut several times, his body being ■covered with wounds. That is why ■his fellow workmen say he carries ■carries a charmed life. It seems ■that even a locomotive cannot kill I him. He also suffered from sunstroke while in the Soudan, which ■has left him partially deaf, otherwise he is none the worse for wear. ■We are glad to chronicle Mr. Jen- Knings' last escape. £_ V 8a w Sara.
