INJURY BRINGS ODD INQUIRY
Was Man without Ticket, Hurt BY
Train, Trespasser

Tom Rice, a harvest hand who
had been working for Thomas Tay'
lor near Pearl, was the victim oil
an unusual accident. He was sitting
in a crouching position and leaning
against the depot at Pearl when the
local freight pulled in. A truck had
been left standing near the track
which a large furniture car In the
train struck, knocking 1t against
Rice. He was hit just below the
left knee but the bone was not brok-
en-. He was taken to Enterprise and
the local Rock island surgeon, DR..
Kroesch, treated the injured part
after which he was sent to Herring
ton. 1t seems that Rice had not pur-
chased a ticket and was, according
to the law, trespasser. He claimed
however, that he intended to pUr-
chase a ticket. The superintendent
at Harrington expects to look into
the matter.
