Badly Injured

Michael Connell, a freight conductor on the DSS&A was serious-
ly, if not fatally injured near the Buffalo mine last evening.
While making a run for a snow bank an engine took the side
track and crashed into five or six flat cars upon which Connell
was standing. He was thrown off and apparently struck on the
back of the head by a piece of flying debris and knocked sense-
less. The wound was dressed when he was taken to his home in
Ishpeming. At nine o'clock this morning he was reported to be
resting easy, with the chances in favor of his recovery.
