TERRIBLY INJURED
Charles Wright Struck by a Switch Engine.
Four Fractured Ribs Driven into his Lungs.
There was another accident on the F & P.M. railroad in the south end yesterday morning. An engine drawing nine freight cars on the belt line ran into a farmer's wagon and seriously, if not fatally injured the driver, Charles Wright. Oliver Anderson, a switchman who resides in Saginaw was also injured by jumping from the moving locomotive.
The accident occurred at 8:30 o'clock at the Twenty-second street crossing.
Wright, who is employed by Fred Meyer, a Tuscola road farmer, was coming to the city with a load of malt. He did not appear to hear the danger signal of the engineer and was struck full and fair by the engine. The horses were pitched off the track, and the wagon with its load was overturned on Wright. Alverson jumped before the accident occurred and landed on the cattle guard and fence.
Both men were at once removed to the office of Drs. Newkirt, where their wounds were dressed. An examination revealed the fact that Wright's collar bone was broken, four ribs fractured and driven into his left lung, and his head, hip, and body badly bruised. He is now in a precarious condition and it is feared he cannot recover.
Alverson was badly bruised about the head, shoulders, and hip, but will recover.
