BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 27.—William McLowery, a flagman for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, dropped dead Monday night from heart failure after witnessing a collision of a United States mail truck and an automobile at his crossing.

The flagman stopped a train which was rushing toward the wreckage of the machines, gave his name to a policeman and then fell unconscious. He died a few minutes later.
