Went to Sleep on the Track.
Carl Miller, a section foreman for the Quincy, Omaha and Kansas City railroad, who has been working at Linden, decided to go to Pattonsburg to get his family. He sat down on the track to wait for a freight train that was due at 11 o'clock and as the train was late he went to sleep. When the train came along some hours later Miller's legs were across one rail and were cut off.
