Lest Mondar Billy" Paugman. foreman of the A.

 Pangman was running the gas locomotive with cars behind and one flat bottom car ahead. while nearing the switch he shut down the engine to a very slow speed and got out of the cab and ran ahead along the side of the track untl he reached the nd of the fiat car which was then nearing the switch. From that time to the present he had no recollection what happened, but it is presumed that he must have slipped on the ties and fell between the rails, the fat car aXelS being very low. show ed hin along over the ties between the rails until brakeman Holmes not seeing anything of Pangmau ran ,o the engine and shut off the over. He was found under meath the fiat car and immediately lifted out. Mort Powell unloaded his freight and hurried back to Nome with Pangman as quick as possible where he was given ev-
 sttention by Drs. O'Hara and Swartz.
 Ex-rays show that he received fracturers to the skull, he lost one ear from being showed over the ties, his body is black and blue in many places and he i. still unable to see; though he talks freely and rationally and is in good spirits. His condition has slightly improved daily since the accident.
