30 W0iI,tO my UA0u, a. WAsA ooSS--c
some implements OF stone or seeel or iron
similarly made; there may have Dcen
some pieces OF skull or hair missing;
there wasn't the dirty, greasy CONDITION
of the wounded parts 80 usual In lnJu-
rIes caused by railroad accidents;
railroad injuries are usually very
ugly and the parts 30 bruised
and made so pulpy. the implement
being 30 large and heavy; think can
detect the difference between railroad
injury and almost any other injury; my
impression il there was no dirt or grease,
such as Is usually left in wounds caused
by parts Of moving trains
