HEAD IS CRUSHED
ALMOST TO A PULP
John Hall Is Caught Between
Passenger Cars.
SUNDAY At YATES CENTER
Porter Brought Home Probably
Fatally Injured.

After having nearly every bone in his
head crushed between the vestibules of
two passenger coaches at 10 o'clock Sun
day morning at Yates Center, John Hall,
colored porter on trains Ne. Al and a.
Missouri Pacific railroad, lies in the
Wichita hospital, still alive, although he
is unconscious.
These who witnessed the terrible acci-
dent say that the train had stopped on
~" at Yates Center and was about
10 depart whsn it was noticed that the
air hose was unfastsned. Hall being the
closest man. and also being handy at
doing such things jumped down to fasten
H. Just as ne had the hose securely put
together. the ears caught Halls head
between the vestibules of the coaches and
crushed him until he became unconscious.
The blood STRAINED from the awful
gashes and he fell in a swoon beside the
tracks. He had been hurt but few min
utes when the train men discovered mat
something was seriously wrong and,
when they appeared upon the scene, their
eyes Were terrified to see the manxled
condition of the mans face and head.
They immediately picked him up and
brought 10 Wichita as soon as possible
and, after lying in the hospital sixty
hours, he is still alive, although the
chances for his recovery are small.
AS the passengers leeked upon the pitt
full scene, many shrieks eff hsrrer were
uttered. and the train which bore the
unconscious porter into this city was in
a state of wondermert al the fact that
the man was still alive after having been
SO terribly smashed.
John Hall is a man about 80 years OF
age and has been in the employ ef the
Missouri Pacific railroad fer a good many
years 1t is said that he never had an
accident before in all his railroad career.
He was a trustworthy porter and is
well thought Of by all who know him.
According 10 a late report, Hall is still
IN an unconscious state and is not able
20 relate anything about the accident
Every precautisn and medical skill is
Being used te save the man, and it is
hoped by his many friends that he may
recover
The train which injured Hall left Wich-
tia Saturday night at $50 o'clock. Hal

The output will be unusually
variable, ranging from less than
one half an average up to some
record breaking yields. The
quality and value for feed
ing and commercial purposes
will be materially above the
much larger total of 1902. Re
ports indicate that, for the state
at large from ten to fifteen per
cent of the crop is still green
and immature, exposed to some
measure of damage by killing
frosts. A week of dry, warm
weather would ripen a consider
