The stranger had been captured with ths bloody knife In hit\nhands, and preparations for a a immediate lynching had been made.\nSuddenly he broke away from his\ncaptors, Jumped aboard an engine\nthat waa standing, with steam up,\non tht main track\u00E2\u0080\u0094the crew being\nat lunch\u00E2\u0080\u0094 pulled open the throttle,\nand in no time was whirling across\nthe prairie.
