Aged Man Hurt.

John Collins, an inmate of the JEFF
ferson county poor house, was run
down by string of cars at Milton on
July 4. He was walking on the track
and despite the fact that Conductor
Brennan and his brakeman yelled al
the top of their voices he failed to heed
the warning and was knocked down
between the depot platform and inside
rail and dragged for several rods. He
suffered broken collar bone, several
ribs were torn loose and his head and
face and breast bruised and cut. DR..
Crosley dressed his injuries and in the
afternoon the superintendent of poor
from Jefferson came in an auto anC
took him home. AS he is SO years old,
there is little hope of his recovery.
