VIM. PIERCE, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. D. PIERCE of the town of River
Falls, received painful injuries
Monday morning as result of a
fall from the train as it was about
to stop at the Glovers Station plat
form. Glovers was Peirce'S desti-
nation, and as the train was slow
ing up for the platform he jumped
| off while it was still in motion. He
stepped off from the rear of the first
car onto some ice and fell toward
the car, his head striking against
an oil box on the passenger coach,
inficting an ugly scalp wound.
When the train stopped Peirce was
found lying unconscious across the
track. The oil boxes had showed
him out from under the wheels as
the second car passed him and
the train had stopped just in time.
He was taken on to Hudson and
placed under medical treatment at
the Chaplin Hall house. The scalp
wound, although painful, is not a
dangerous one. His most serious
injury is his left side, which is bad
ly bruised, although no bones have
been found to be broken. His par
ents are with him and report that
his condition is improving hope
fully.
