James Neason, of Jones street, is re-
covering from the effects of an aCci-
dent last Tuesday which came near
being very serious in its consequences.
He was among the passengers on an
excursion train returning from Noun
tain Park, and after getting off the
train at Park Place station, decided he
would go on to Providence.
In attempting to board the train, he
slipped and fell under the cars and was
caught by the brakes on the wheels
and dragged along the rail some dis
tanCe before the train stopped, and he
was pulled out in an unconscious con-
dition. Both legs were badly confused,
his arm injured and other injuries suf-
fered. He was removed To DR.. Ross
office, nearby, and given medical at
tcntion, after which he was removed to
his home. Mr.. Neason's many friends
are glad that his injuries were no more
serious than reported, and that he will
be about again in couple of weeks.
