Brakeman Injured

George Barnett of Boone,
head brakeman on No. 6 going
east at lao today was badly if
not seriously injured this af-
ternoon just after the train had
left the station. He was in the
express car and was climbing
over a pile of express when he
stepped on an ice cream packer
which tipped over under his
weight and he was thrown out
of the car door. AS he fell the
back of his head struck the door
sill and this blow turned him
over so that his chin struck the
rail as he struck the ground.
The train was Immediately
stopped and the unconscious
man picked up and taken to the
Heise hospital where a thorough
examination showed a cash at
the base of the skull and on
lower lip, sprained ankle and a
confusion over the ear causing
bleeding at the ear and numer-
GUS bruises over his body. 1t
will probably be a couple of days
before the extent of his injuries
can be definately told but the
physicians have hopes that the
injuries are no worae than the
ones found now. The accident
happened opposite the freight
depot but had the train been
going at it's regular rate of
speed his injuries might have
'been much more serious.
