Charles A. Walker, section foreman
on the Grand Trunk, met with bsd &C
cident Thursday, which might easily
have been worse. Coming out after din
ner from his house, which ia nesr the
railroad a listle way below the station,
he jumped on a freight train which was
Just pulling In, 10 ride up into the yard.
When little above the station he swung
of. but in some way missed his footing
and his right foot went under the wheels.
The wheels passed diagonslly across his
toes, crushing the two smallest and
bruising the others. He must have
pulled his foot partly out, as the boot
shows that there was larger portion OF
II run over than Is accounted for by the
injury 70 his foot. His wounds were
promptly dressed, and II Ia hoped that it
will not be necessary 10 smputate the
crushed toes Even IL that should have
TO be done, II may be considered as mar
row escape from losing at least foot.
