RAILROAD NOTES.
THE HOOK CAUGHT HIM.

1t has been stated some time back that
the engines on the l. q G. n. are taken to
the 5. A. p. turning table to turn them
until the |. & &. n. table is repaired.
Last night J. W. Warren, a fireman on
the |. & G. N, was acting as extra hostler
in the place of HoStler Stevens, who laid
off Yesterday. He took engine Ia over to
the :. a. p. table. turned her around and
started back to the |. & G.. n. He stopped
the engine at the s. A. p. passenger depot
and got out TO light the headlight. While
performing this work, his foot slipped
and he fell. In falling mis- right leg struck
on large pointed piece of iron. used as a
hook TO rest the ilue rake on, which
buried itself about two or two and half
inches in the tleshy part of his right leg
near the thigh. He was picked up and
taken in a hack TO his home on Lakevlew
avenue. where medical attendance was
called in and his wound dressed. 1t is not
necessarily a dangerous one but is very
ualnfu and Will lay him OH for some
time.
The engine was left standing from about
$50 o. M. when the accident occurred,
until after I 80 p. m, when 1t was &C upled
no TO engine &c, and tOwed TO the /. ~ IL.
n. yards. Another man was gotten to
take Warren'S place.
