FOOl Mashed.

Ed Davis, of Marshalltown, an Iowa
Central engineer, had his right foot
badly mashed Tuesday afternoon at
the coal chutes. He was on engine
II that was to pull freight No. IL
north bound. He was at the coal
chutes coaling preparatory to the
start. His foot was caught under the
apron of the chute as four tons of
coal we're let into the tender and the
member was severely squeezed and
the flesh was mashed from the bones.
1t was fortunate that no bones were
broken and the hurt will not be at all
serious. DR.. Clark dressed the
wounded foot. Mr.. Davis will have
to lay of for number of weeks and
he will have to walk with cane, but
he will be out in course of time as
good as new.
