With His Bandana He Halted Express

WITH HIS BANDANA HE HALTED EXPRESS Camden Policeman Stopped Train at Crossing When Horse and Wagon Became Fast on Tracks By waving a bandana handkerchief, Policeman Appley averted what would undoubtedly have been a fatal grade crossing accident at the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad and Atlantic avenue, Camden, yesterday. An express train that had been gaining speed for a run to Atlantic City was stopped within a few feet of the wagon of Smith Moore, which had become mired. At that point repairs are being made, resulting in the crossing being little better than a disused country road. When Moore attempted to drive across, the wheels of the wagon became fastened in the ground and the horse was unable to move. It was at this time that the policeman realized the predicament of Moore. Knowing the express was due at any moment, Appley was in a quandary as to what to do until he thought of his bandana handkerchief. Then, when the locomotive appeared, he waved the bandana frequently. It was seen by the engineer, who brought the train to a stop so suddenly that the passengers were thrown from their seats. After a slight delay Moore succeeded in getting out of the way and the train proceeded.
