150 Years 1872-1886 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART TWO OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. March 30, 2007 page 3 LONG LEGS SAVE MAN'S LIFE ON TUESDAY afternoon as the train was rushing up through Main street on its way to Celilo, a well know gentleman of this city was seen coming down Washington street with the apparent intention of getting aboard. He placed himself near the track and as the train came up he commenced running with it until the locomotive door way came opposite to him, when he reached up and grasping a brass hand-holt, threw himself easily on board. We looked on expecting to be the unwilling witness to a terrible accident, but thanks to long legs and a knowledge of how the thing is done, our friend still lives.
