Conductor Sprained Foot.
H. W. Rost, freight conductor,
had his left foot severely sprained
in an accident which befell him
Saturday while switching at Clara
City. Just as he was stopping the
car he was riding, two other cars
broke loose from the train and
bumped into it, and Mr. Rost either
had to fall or jump. He chose the
latter course, landing on his feet,
but the contact with the frozen
ground was so forcible that he was
badly shaken up. He came to Will
mar shortly after noon, and was
given medical attention at once.
It is not thought that any bones
are broken, and after a few days'
complete rest he will no doubt be
able to be around again.
