<DIV align=left> When train No. 4 pulled into Dry Branch
yesterday and was passed by No. 1 a strange sight met the gaze of the people on
No. 1. Clinging to the fast moving No. 4 a man was hanging for dear life
to the top of a Pullman car. His hands were without gloves and he was
holding on as tight as he could to a handle which was on top of the car.
His body was partly covered with the rapidly falling snow. Nothing of the
man could be learned at the local office yesterday. It is supposed that at
some point where the train had stopped the man had climbed onto the car and was
stealing a ride somewhere. If without gloves, as is thought, it is not
likely that the man will have any flesh on his hands when taken from the
car. He should be partly frozen, as the weather was none too warm
yesterday, and added to this the breeze which the man must have experienced
while riding on top of a car would not have been conducive to warmth.</DIV>
