ACCIDENT ON
REPAIR TRACK
Martin Gilbertson Seriously In
jured Under Car While
at Work.
Martin Gilbertson, of the Great
Northern track repair crew, was very
seriously injured this morning at ten
o'clock,' while at work on a car on
the cinder track. The car was lifted
by means of a crane, and Gilbertson
was ordered to get under and remove
the centerpin of the truck, which
he did. While under the car the cable
slipped and Martin was pinned un
derneath being doubled up with his
face against his legs. Fortunately
the car was instantly raised, which
no doubt saved the injured man from
immediate death. He was horribly
bruised however, and his condition is
very serious. He did not lose con
sciousness. -He was blind for a time,
but soon recovered his sight. He
was taken to the Bethesda hospital
where everything that medical skill
can do is being done. He is resting
easy at this writing and hopes are
entertained for his recovery. His
wife, a daughter of Hans Brix of
New London, is at the bedside of her
husband.
