Show Last Monday night, a whole outfit of graders started from here, north, on the Utah & Northern to work on the Oregon Short Line at and around American falls. Among their number was Mr. John Child's son Lester, aged about 19 years. In the night while the train was going down the divide west of Mendon, Mr. Child was stepping from a flat car to the caboose, when his foot slipped and he fell to the track, the train continuing its career. The hard fall stunned Mr. Child, and he lay unconscious for several hours. On awakening he picked himself up, considerably bruised but fortunately without any broken bones. The same morning he reached Mendon afoot and on telegraphic inquiry from Logan informed his comrades that he was not hurt badly and would soon join them. - Ogden Herald. |
