WAS BADLY INJURED
A. M. Ward, Brakeman on
Freight No. TOT Struck
by Passenger -.

A. M. Ward of Burtrum, aged
about 80 years, brakeman on freight
tram: No. 7O7 which runs between
Staples and Morris, tying up here
nights, was run down by Passenger
train No. 8 IN the local railroad yards
and quite badly injured Tuesday
morning at . so O'Clock. "
Mr.. WARDS train had been making
up in the yards earlier in the. NOM
Ing, preparatory to pulling cut for
Morris. and he was in the operator s
Office when he noticed a freight train
pulling in from the East and went out
to see on what tracks it was heading
IN. He stood between the first and
second tracks and looked south, ap'
parently needless. of the incoming
passenger train which was coming
from the West on the main track.
Several saw him there, but as he was
In no danger in the position he was,
they did not think of warning him OF
the approaching passenger train. just
before the passenger reached him,
however, he took step onto the mann
line and was run down. This was on
the fireman 8 side of the engine, and
as he had already climbed onto the cab
preparatory to replenishing the
engines water supply at the south
water tank, the brakeman's peril was
not seen by any one in the engine.
The crew of the in coming freight
train attempted to signal the engineer
OF the passenger tram but failed, as he
was on the other side of the engine.
The projecting base Of the pilot OF
the engine caught the man IN
such a way as to drag him in front
of it, preventing him thereby from
being ground under the wheels OF
the engine. He was carried in this
manner from point opposite the
baggage room to the water tank.
When he was disengaged from his
precarious position and examined, he
was still conscious, but had
sustained bruises about his face and
limbs and a broken right leg at the
knee. He was taken to the depot on
a stretcher and special made up OF
engine and caboose took him i'm
mediately to the company's sanitarium
at Bralnerd. The man will recover
but will be laid up for some time.
He considers himself very fortunate to
have escaped with no greater injuries,
as he had expected every second that
he was to be ground under the wheels
of the train.

There is some talk about town of
fitting up the court house tower with
