Engineer Archibald innocently became
a graat hero and the lion of the hour
down in Rawlins county on Monday af
ternoon He was pulling the eastbound
passenger which met a very heavy rain
at Blakeman When the train reached
Ludell it was still pouring and Mr
Archibald asked the section foreman
just off the tiack how hiB section was
and was informed that it was all right
Despite this assurance Mr Archibald
dscided without orders to slow down at
a certain high bridge between Ludell
and Herndon and it was fortunate for
the train crew and passengers that he
did for as he approached the bridge he
saw it ready to topple from its founda
tions and stopped the train just in
time to save a plunge into 25 feet of
water When the passengers learned of
the tragedy his forethought had averted
the women kissed him the men hugged
him and wanted to raise a purse for
him Now Mr Archibald is naturally a
very modest man and all this demonstra
tion over what Le considered a small
matter made him feel like an awkward
