backing his engine when it sideswiped the caboose of a freight which had failed
to clear. The cab of his engine was caught on the rear car of the freight
and torn off, breading some of the steam pipes. Mr. Francisco was badly
scalded about the arms, head and back. He was brought to the Bluefield
Sanatorium last night, and while his injuries are extremely painful, the
hospital staff does not think they are necessarily fatal.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
