Rolled Several Feet By Pilot of Engine

Montezuma, Oct. 24 – 

Brown Lockwood, of Ideal, near here was knocked down by a Central of Georgia 
engine here this morning and rolled along the track several feet before he was 
finally pushed aside by the pilot, uninjured, except for bruises.

His wife came very near being struck by the train when she tried to snatch her 
husband from the track when she saw the danger.

A big crowd was gathered at the depot to catch the morning train to Macon and 
Mr. Lockwood evidently mistook the main line, because he walked along the track 
before the engine complacently.

The train was slowed considerably for the station, but rolled a couple of rail 
lengths, even under the emergency brakes.

The fact that the track is filled to the level with the rails at the point 
saved the man’s life.  He departed for his home shortly after the accident, 
apparently none the worse for it.
