on the train that had a stroke and only had 50c so he wouldn't get off. He asked me if I would go through the train and ask for a Dr. So I did, and there wasn't, so when I went back, and told him he said the only thing that would help him was an injecting so I asked him if he had any thing with him to take one, he didn't but if he had of I would of made him think he was a soap factory. Ha. Ha. Then this morning when we was just puling in to the depot John Nelson raised the window, and had his arm [inunder?] it and it came down, and hit him on the crazy boan, so I carried him water to keep him from fainting, he turned as white as a sheet. So I didn't get very much sleep, and drilled all day. They told us to night that we would leave here the 26 June.
