one o'clock
But I was hindered considerable , being put off of trains three or four times , and having to grab these here slow local freights between towns all the way down through Kentuckey . Anywheres south of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River trainmen is grouchier to them they thinks is bums than north of it , anyhow . And in some parts of it , if a real bum gets pinched , heaven help ` im , fur nothing else wo n't . One night , between twelve and one o'clock , I was put off of a freight train fur the second time in a place in the northern part of Tennessee , right near the Kentuckey line . I set down in a lumber yard near the railroad track , and when she started up agin I grabbed onto the iron ladder and swung myself aboard . But the brakeman was watching fur me , and clumb down the ladder and stamped on my fingers . So I dropped off , with one finger considerable mashed , and set down in that lumber yard wondering what next .
