Very Narrow Escape

Edward Hoelzle Fell Between Moving Cars.

Saved but he Promptness of Agent Gilmore Who Held Him Down Til the Train Passed. 

Edward Hoelzle, a member of Co. A, narrowly eseaped being killed at he Ann Arbor depot yesterday afternoon. If it had not been for the presence of mind of Agent Gilmore he would have been cut to pieces. He tried to board the north bound passenger train while in motion and fell between the cars with his head and shoulders across the rail. Mr. Gilmore grasped Hoelzle and pulled him back betwen the rail and the platform and held his head down so as to clear the steps. At this time Hoelzle made an effort to get up by throwing a leg out. Mr. Gilmore quickly pulled this also into line and held Hoelzle down until the train passed. He got up without being injured and got on the train which had stopped. If he had not been held down as he was he would have been cut to pieces. As it was, barring a few scratches, he was uninjured.
