 occurred Friday evening. but which.
 did not become known to station Agent Smith or physicians until early Satul day morning. MT.

Pawcatuck According to the statement of Green, he wanted to go to Midway. ana instead of getting. on the 6.2S train at the railway station he attempted to board the train just before it reached the bridge over West Broad street. He made misstep, he says, and two wheels of a car passed over his left foot He was not able to walk and he could not attract anyone to come to his assistance. He finally managed to crawl to the Watson resi- dence. reaching there at 1-3o Saturday morning, and succeeded. after a while, in gaining admittance.
 Dr. M H. Scanlon was called and as soon as he saw that the foot was se- verely crushed he summoned pr. John l.. May to assist him. and notified Sta- ton Agent Smith Both responded promptly and Agent smith gathered all available facts. to include in the acci- dent report to the company.
 The doctors decided to amputate the big toe at the ball of the foot; the next one at the big joint. The third and the little toes were fractured, as were also other bones in the foot. The third toe is so severely crushed that amputa- ,tion nay be necessary. MT. Green did not e4palin why he intended to go to Midway, as he had been granted time off, on the calim of illness.
 A few weeks ago Mrs. Green figured in a horse runaway mixup in which she escaped serious injury, although she received a fracture of the melar bone and deep cut near the left eye Her male companion was more seriously injured, but has fully recovered. MT. Green ;s at the Watson residence.
