AWnrkman Scnlded.

An engine weighing over ten tons
was being elevated twenty feet to the
top OF the old wooden bridge in Bridge
port last evening, when the mud drum
broke, causing the scalding water in
the boiler TO fall on the men working
below. Gus Grim was the only man
sealded, and be was quite painfully in
jured about the legs. BY means OF pull
leys the engine was hosting itself. Had
it not been for the men in charge
knowing just what to do, the engine
must have descended, and possibly have
injured, If not killed, many. The en-
CINE is not yet in It's place, but is
propped no, about eighteen feet from
the ground. The engine is to be used
by the workmen in handling and plac
ing the iron work for the new bridge.

Kicked by a Pony

Henry Pratt, son of John Pratt,
foreman Of the B. 81 o. shops, living on
South Main street, was out exercising
his Texas pony yesterday afternoon.
The pony was wild, but the lad, who is
employed at Coleman's pharmacy, was
bound TO ride the animal. He got
thrown off once or twice before final
throw resulting in an injury. In front
of Coleman's drug store, on Chapline
street, with friend holding the pony,
young Pratt attempted to mount. The
animal broke loose and the boy fell, re-
ceiving a bad kick in the stomach. The
injured boy was taken to his home,
where his injuries were found not to be
of an alarming nature.
