"LUCKY TO BE ALIVE”
FELL BETWEEN CARRIAGES UNGRATEFUL MAN FINED THOUGH lucky to be alive to do A so, there was no gratitude in the heart of David Ellis Corban when he appeared at the Police Court this morning. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of quitting a train while it was in motion. Porter L. Moyle said that Corban had alighted from the Limited with his back to the engine, and fell between the carriages. He saved himself from being dragged under by hanging to the carriage stanchions. Witness rescued him from almost certain death. Corban made a long explanation in which he attacked the porter, hut said finally to Air. W. R. McK.ecn, S.M.. that he did not know the meaning of ’quit.” “It means that you are fined 30s — your are fortunate to be alive,” said the magistrate.
