SWITCHMAN SAVES JUDGE

PUSHES JUSTICE LEWIS OF SUPREME COURT FROM TRACK - JURIST HURT.

Charles L. Lewis, associate justice of the supreme court, was struck by a freight train on the Milwaukee road near the foot of Chestnut street, St. Paul, today, and sustained injuries which will confine him to his home for some time. The injuries are painful but not serious. He was removed to the central police station in an ambulance and was later taken to his home, 642 Portland avenue, in a carraige.

Judge Lewis was hurrying to the river to take a boat ride. He did not see a long freight train which came from behind. John Koenig, a switchman, sitting on the pilot of the engine, shoved the judge from the track, and the jurist received only a glancing blow from the side of the locomotive.

Mr. Lewis was badly bruised about the arms and right side. He was able, however, to walk to the ambulance. After being attended to by Police Surgeon A. J. Dohm he was sent home.
