Man Locked Eight
Days In Box Car
FORT SMITH, Ark. <>P) — The
condition of a man who was lock
ed in a box car for eight days and
nights without food, water or suf
ficient clothing was described as
“good” Saturday by hospital at
tendants.
Found in the car when it was
oponed at a lumber mill here Fri
day, Earl Harrison, 24, was suffer
ing from frost bite and malnutri
tion.
Harrison told police ns climbed
into the car at Wells, Nev., De?. 11.
thinking it was bound -for Ogden.
Utah, and that the door was locked
before the car left Wells.
Soon, the young man gasped
weakly, he realized the car was
going further and at each stop he
beat on the door and screamed
without getting any response.
Finally, he said, he became too
weak to cry out or move.
Physicians said Harrison’s arms
and legs were frost bitten. And
during the “imprisonment” he
lost about 50 pounds, weighing
less than 100 when he was hos
pitalized.

He—I’d like to propose a little
toast.
She—Nothing doin’ kid, I want
a regular meal. i
