While Switching Cars at
Brick Yards

R. f. Smith, better known as
Bob Smith, Rock Island brake
man was badly hurt about o:3o last
night while switching cars at the
brick yards south Of the city.
The train crew were putting a
car Of brick into the yards and
Smith, who was on top, set all the
brakes and the car refused TO stop
being on a down grade. Other
members of the crew were "chunk-
ing the cars down when Smith
climbed down and the hand hold
pulling out letting him fall between
the cars. which caught him under
the shoulderand were pushing him
along; they were stopped before
they passed over him, but the fall
across the rail and ties crippled
him up pretty badly, causing par
alysis of one limb; the paralysis
however will probably pass away.
He was removed to his home at
the south east corner of 5th and
