Scenes of Suffering
In Hospital Depicted

CHICAGO, Aug. 20 G.N.SO
Scenes of suffering and conges-
ton in Mercy Hosital at Tucum-
carl following the wrecking of
a crack Rock Island railroad train
there today were described by
C. S. Cartan, a railroad official
over the long distance telephone
to the Chicago American. He
said:
'Here at Tucumcari we have
a tiny hospital, capable of car
ing for 80 persons at the most.
1t is a One-stOry brick building
built only two months ago and
naturally not fully equipped.
"There are so manned and
dying people here now. They
have to put two in a bed and
they haven't. enough doctors or
nurses to attend to all of them.
"It's terrible. The crying of
little babies and the grOans Of
anguish of grown folks, all
helpless and suffering, is heart
rending."
Cartin said that a 3.1-inct
rain had sWelled a creek thai
flows past the hospital anc
caused it to rise and flow over
the railroad track. He added:
"This town is almost isolated,
too. We're almost cut off from
the rest Of the country. It'll
take hours to get enough doc
tors and nurses here"
Trainmaster H. G. Mccarthy
stationed here, said the locomo
tive was completely submerged
in the raging water. The bridge

near here last Sunday afternoon,
on her return trip to Greenville
after visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Charlie Tabor, was taken to
Greenville after emergency treat
ment was given her at the Dixon
Sanatorium in Hendersonville.
The accident occurred on the
Observation-Disclosures highway just
below the home of Mr.. T. B.

most falling from the car. Her
son, Arthur, who was driving the
car. in trying to catch her from
falling lost control of the car,
which overturned. Mr.. Hill was
not hurt, but it was at first
thought that Mrs. Hill was seri-
ously hurt. X-rays have been
taken, but unless they show diff
ferently. it is expected that her
recovery will be speedy.
