STRUCK BY AN ENGINE.

Hugh Brown, Central Vermont
railway section man who resides at 1GG
South Battery street, was struck by the
II. G. l.. engine yesterday morning about
$50 o'clock while shoveling snow off
the track. The engine was backing
up from the round house to the station
and the tender hit Mr. Brown. whose
back was turned toward 1t. The ten
der threw him to the ground and drag
ged him about 20 feet. when he rolled
over on to the next track. One wheel
ran over his left foot and he was other
wise bruised about the body and legs
He was Immediately taken TO his home
where he was attended by DIR. s. f.
Maynard One toe was amputated but
1t is thought that the foot will be saw
ed.
Mr.. Brown claims that Engineer
Hutchinson did not blow the whistle
and that neither he nor his compan ions
heard the engine approach. Tho other
section men say that 1t was a miracle
that Brown was not crushed beneath
the wheels.
Mr., Brown did not feel so well last
evening His right leg panied him con-
siderably and he seemed to be suffering
from internal injuries.
