SPLIT UNDER
The CAR WHEELS

Milton, \. D.. April ga frightful
accident happened in Milton, when
Sam Schuneman, brakeman on the
w]estbound freight fell between the de-
pot platform and the cars, the wheels
running over his lower right leg and
foot. crushing it almost to a pulp,
the foot being split in two so that one
could see right through 1t.
SChuneman attempted to jump from
the door Of a supply car TO h plat
form, from the quite rapidly moving
train, stumbled in some unexplained
manner. fell between the train and the
PLATFORM, rolling right across the rail
under the rapidly moving wheels.
Quick as thought he threw himself
outward towards the platform but
not quickly enough, the wheels nip
ping his leg and foot.
II he had not used his presence Of
mind in quick action the wheels
would undoubtedly have severed his
body in two. He vas pulled from his
position by two section hands who
happened to be on the platform. He
cries were pitiful to hear. He thought
he had received his death wound and
hadc goodbye to his fellow workers
on the train crew and also kept call
ing for his mother.
There was no physician in town at
the time, SO preparations were made
for a quick run to Langdon. Messrs.
Swanlaw, Peck and Laing, who hap
penod to be on the scene, bound his
limb tightly to stop the flow Of blood,
and in the meantime the train crew
cut out part of the train and after
placing the injured man on a stretCher

He was given immediate hospital
care and an effort is being made to
save as much of the limb as possible,
only a few minor amputations having
been made as vet. Mr.. Schuneman is
a man Of about As years of age, un-
married, and has been on this run
during the past winter.

ACCIDENT
At WILLISTON

Williston, n. D., April 2.-If some
Of the movie people had been on
hand with heir moving picture cam
era on the road leading east from
Broadway las week they would have
been able 70 catch a bit Of sensation
that had not been rehearSed
It had to do with a couple of auto
mobiles, a friendly test of speed and a
narrow bridge. One Of the Monroe
brothers, accompanied by Mt. Gem
berling of Epping, was coming into
town in the iatter's Overland, and c.
II. EleTtson, who is here as demon
StTator for the Metz cars. assisting
Agent Husebye, was also coming up
the pike in one OF those little red
devils. OF course they did not race.
but naturally let out a few links like
David Harum when he wanted to pass
the village horse trader, just to show
that they had the extra speed in stock
if needed.
As they approached a bridge over
the big irrigation ditch, which is too
narrow to permit two machines to
cross it abreast, the Overland had
gained a slight advantage and MI. Ell
lertson decided to slacken speed and
fan in behind. Owing to familiarity
with a machine on which the position
of the brake and clutch levers are the
reverse OF those on the Metz, his foot,
in the excitement of the moment press-
cd the clutch lever instead Of the brake.
1t was a case Of Sidewise collision
with the other a or with the bridge
railing on the right hand. He was
hardly conscious of making the deci-
Sion, but at any rate his car struck
the railing, which broke and one OF
the rails penetrated the radiator and
the back Of the empty right hand seat
The car toppled off the edge Of the
bridge and fell to the bottom of the
ditch. Partly by jumping and partly
by being thrown, Mr.. Ellertson land
ed on the bridge about fifteen feet from
the point OF the collision entirely I'M
injured If he had had a passenger
or il the machine had been a right
hand control there would have been
a sad6er story to relate. Mr. Ebert
son has had experience as driver In
the cities for several years and says
this is the first accident.
