fact That the shade trees or rather che

Marston, employed by the kennebec
Paper Company at their mill at Au-
gusta, was run over by freight car
and received injuries from which he
later died at the Augusta General

1T appears from the evidence taken
at the hearing held by the Commits

that a freight car loaded with paper
was being moved on the side track
which leads to the mill of the paper
company. The car was being moved

some way Mr.. Marston got under the
wheels of the car and the wheels
passed over both legs almost sever
