INJUREDING0AGH.
While Sitting by a Window is
a Travelling Man on
Train No. 3.
DOOR OF BOX CAR
Hanging Loose Hit By Train
as 1t Passes Causes
the Injury.

Edward Walters Goddard, travel
ling representative for the United
Brass Company. of Cleveland, O..
was painfully and perhaps seriousl,
injured Tuesday morning as BaltI-
more and Ohio passenger train No
3 was approaching the local sta,
ton.
Mr.. Goddard was sitting near a
window looking out. when suddenly
all the passengers in the car heard
crash and a rumbling noise, and
saw Mr.. Goddard raise from his
seat with a stream of blood flowing
down the side of his face from an
ugly cut above his right temple
His fellow passengers bandaged up
the wound, but the blood continued
to 1ow. AS soon as the train
reached the station physician was
called and Mr.. Goddard was taken
10 the freight depot.
When the physician arrived and
inspected the wound. he stated that
one of the facial, arteries was cut
and would have to be sewed up.
After it was sewed up, the bleeding
stopped and Mr. Goddard was taken
to the Waldo hotel, where he will
remain until Cos o'clock, when he
will return to his home at Nor
wood, o.
The cause of the accident was
door Of freight car hanging loose
on the track near the Pinnickinnick
coallng station next to the main
track and Il fell out as the passenger
train was passing, striking the win
dow near Mr.. Goddard. The door
was not knocked OF. 1t scraped
along the entire side of the car, but
did not strike any more windows
The car was one of the large steel
ones or the whole window would
have been knocked out and the nc
cident would have been more seri-
Gus than it was.
Mr.. Goddard was coming to
clarksburg to work his regular trade
here, but on account of the accident
he will not be able to look after the
trade for week or two.
