Russell Messier Prob
ably Fatally Injured
Today.
A Sand Bank Gave Way
tween a FLAT Car anu the Dirt
Other News.

A Young man named Russell Messier
who was employed with the steam
shovel gang at work on the railroad
n ear the Swedetown GRO .sing, was seri-
ously il not fatally injured while at work
this morning, by lot of sand giving
away and coming down, pinching him
between the fiat car on the track and
the dirt.
The steam shovel gang were put at
work TO fill three cars this morning and
were getting the sand from the side OF
hill. The men had been at work at the
same place before and no thought OF the
danger OF the place for once entered their
minds. There we're ten men in the party
at work but they had done but little
shoveling when the loose dirt from above
came down and caught NJ s.ier before he
could get away, although the Others
were uniDjured.
The fat cars were on the track a few
feet from where the men we're at work
and the sand filled in the space and
pushed Messier against the body OF the
car. He was extricated as soon as pos
sible and taken TO the Red Jacket depot
by the locomotive, where Drs. Pomeroy
and DAVIS worked over him for IA time
and then the ambulance was called and
he was removed TO his boarding house
on Sixth street. Hi- injuries are internal
and are very painful and ir is almost im-
possible TO say whether he will recover
or not, although the chances for recovery
are much brighter now than Immediately
after the unfortunate accident happened.
The ground Is supposed To have loos-
ened up on account of the dampuess of
the earth and when the first dirt was
taken out the hole embankment gave
away in an instant.
The Injured mans home is in Marquette
and he Is a son OF Mr.. Ike Messier, who
was conductor on the old NJ. II. K O.
road for a number OF years.
