Falling across one rail, Mr. Brown was shoved along for sevoral feet by the truck, the wheels not securing sufficient suf-ficient hold upon him to draw him under un-der the car. As it was, his legs were badly bruised. He was removed from tho yard under the direction of Patrolman Patrol-man Charles Pitts and sent to the Holy Cross hospital.
