Accident to a Railroad Man

Last Wednesday, Mr. William Earl, foreman of the section
hands in Marquette city yards of the DSS&A received quite pain-
ful injuries. He was engaged with his crew of men in laying a
rail, when a passenger locomotive struck him in such a way as to
inflict severe scalp wounds. The company's surgeon dressed the
wounds and Mr. Earl will be able to be out in a few days.
