He was so rnuch under the influence of liquor that he had üot kept track of how near the time was approaching for the departure of his train and only realized it when he saw the cars puiling out of the yards. He ran to catuh the train and tried to catch a hanger on one of the cars, but missed it and siipped under the raoving train.
