Struck by the Engine
The freight train which arrived here at one o'clock Monday night brought a man named Stanley Colquist, who was badly injured. He was standing on the track near Au Train, and not appearing to hear the warning whistle of the engine, was struck and hurled off the track. One leg and one arm were broken, and there is a terrible gash over his eye and his nose is smashed. Just before the arrival of the train, a telephone message to the Northwestern hospital called for a team and physician to meet him at the depot. The request was promptly complied with, and the unfortunate man was taken to tne hospital where his woulds [*wounds] were dressed. Yesterday he was removed to the county poor house, as no one appeared to be with him to pay the necessary expenses of attendance upon him. He is doing well and probably will pull through.
