Both Wheels Of Hand Car
Ran Over Him
Physician Believes That He
viii Recover

A distressing accident occurred
Wednesday afternoon between and
o'clock in the local Pennsylvania
yards when young college lad,
James Estill, of Millersburg, who has
been working on fence gang with
the Pennsylvania this summer during
his vacation, slipped off hand-car
|running at high speed and was run
over by it and its load of five men.
Estill was taken to the Mt. Vernon
hospital in Miller Brothers ambulance
where an examination revealed three
fractured ribs on his right side. In
ternal injuries are feared
A remarkable feature of the acci-
| dent is the fact that Estill, after
both wheels of the car had passed ov-
er him, got up without any assistance.
The other five occupants of the car
had jumped when they saw the young
lad fall off. They carried Estill to
the car and took him to the local
shops, whence he was taken to the
hospital.
The men, members of the fence
gang, had been at work one mile
south of Mt. Vernon and were return
ing to this city when the accident
happened. They were engaged in the
work of pumping the car. The rain
had dampened the pump handles and
! Estill, who was in the fore part of
the car, lost his grasp and his balance.
| He fell forward in front of the car
and the heavy weight passed over
him.
I DR. N. R. Eastman, local surgeon of
| the Pennsylvania, took the case in
| charge and made careful examina-
ton of the lad. The skin was bruised
in several places where the hand-car
passed over the lads body, but there
were no cuts. Wednesday evening,
Estill's temperature was very much
below normal while his heart action
was high. He vomited, but no blood
appeared, so this was considered a
hopeful sign. Attending physicians
| feared that the liver had been in
jured.
On Thursday Estill was resting
very comfortably. He passed fairly
good night, although hypodermic
had to be administered. His vomiting
had ceased by Thursday and condi
tions were not so alarming as at first
Unless the unexpected turns up, the
lad may escape, although he is not
yet past the danger mark.
Probate Judge Charles A. Estill o1
Millersburg, father of the young man
was summoned to this city, arriving
here on the 1850 train Thursday
morning. In conversation with re
porter of the Banner Thursday, Judge
Estill expressed himself as very sat
isfed with the condition of his son
stating that he looked for complete
recovery. Judge Estill was sum
moned here against the wishes of hi
son, who did not want his parents t.
know of his injury.
His work on the Pennsylvania thi
, summer was merely temporary jo
for young Estill. He is a student a
, Muskingum college and finished hi
Junior year last June. He had Sc
cured the position with the railroa
company as a means of putting in tn
! summer and saving some money. H
Is twenty-five years of age.
