Henry Draeger. about thirty-five years
OF age, who resides at 404 Seventh Street
southwest, was struck by a train of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad at the south
end Of the Long Bridge yesterday after
noon shortly after o'clock. He was
brought to this city and placed at the
Emergency Hospital. An operation was
performed, the amputation of both legs
being deemed necessary to save life. His
condition last night was critical.
The accident occurred about three hun
bred feet south of the bridge. When the
western express reached that point Drae-
ger was standing near the track and is
said to have attempted to board the train.
He missed his footing and fell under the
rear coach Of the train. Two wheels passed
over his legs, both Of which were badly
mangled. A special coach and engine
brought Draeger to the city. At the sta
ton the ambulance from the Emergency
Hospital met the train and took the patient
to that institution. After the operation
Draeger appeared slightly better. Several
persons witnessed the accident. and their
names were reported to the police.
