FELL UNDER LOAD
AND GETS PlNCHED
Lcuis Williams, Section Hand on Mont
pelier q Wells River X. r., Was
Injured Near Ayers Street
To-day.

Louis Williams, section hand cm-
ployed on the Montpelier & Wells River
railroad, was painfully, II not seriously,
injured this forenoon about II o'clock,
By falling from push ear loaded with
ties near the Ayers street ttestle. IN
company with other workman, Williams
was engaged in loading the car with
ties, preparatory 70 moving il farther
down the line. He was standing on top
Of the pile when, without warning, sew
efal Of the ties gave way, throwing VIII
liams to the track. The road is on q
grade at this point. and as soon as the
load was lighteued the car began to
move.
Although Williams chief injuries re-
suited from the falling ties, II is
thought that the wheels Of the car
passed partly over his body. Had i not
been for the presence OF mind OF some
of the workmen. il is probable that
the trucks would have passed entirely
over his body As IL was, the car was
stopped and Williams was removed from
his perilous position.
The injured man did not lose con-
sciousness, but Il was evident from the
first tnat he was in considerable pain.
Fellow worlmen assisted MIN 20 his
home, and physician was called at
once. So far as a careful examination
could determine, the man sustained no
broken bones from being pinned under
the heavy ties, although It IS possible
that two ribs may have been cracked
under the weight This afternoon, now
ever, he seemed to be suffering 20 some
extent, and it Is possible that internal
complications may yet develop
Williams Is a married man and the
father Of two children. He is 81 years
OF age and has been employed on the
section for some little time.

That the west will be represented at

night at the conference of western

A new portent of the future was
carried in the demands of Washing
ton and Wyoming that the admins
tration of the forest be turned over
to the sovereign states by the govern
ment, to allow the handling of all
these matters within the states, and
not by the federal government.
This demand, however, will prob
ably not be carried to St. Paul, as the
majority of governors are of the i'm
preston that the time is not yet ripe
for the states to demand that the
lands now held by the government be
turned over to them.
