take the whole freight train up there.
He had stepped between the first car
and the tender and had uncoupled the
draw bar. The engine had gone along a
foot or more and Clough was reaching
over the separated draw bars trying to
uncouple the hose which connects the air
brakes to the engine. For some reason
the engineer backed the engine up and
Clough was caught between the draw bar
heads.
He was caught about the hips and
crushed in a terrible way. He was held
there until the engine was started up
again, when he fell to- the ground. The
other trainmen, including his brother,
Ray E. Clough, saw the accident and
rushed to his assistance. He was placed
on the depot stretcher and carried into
the baggage room and DR.. Frank H.
OConnor was summoned.
Dr. O'Connor made the injured man as
comfortable as possible but did not give
any hope of his surviving His hips were
crushed In and the pelvic bones forced
upward into the abdominal cavity and
both legs were broken. The ambulance
was summoned and he was taken to the

The accident caused great sorrow
among the railroad men as Mr.. Clough
was of a genial and friendly disposition
and had made many friends on the road.
Horace Meacham, who was running the
| engine at the time, was so affected by
the accident that he was barely able to
| go on with the train.
