Joe Parrot, a car repairer and one of the old employes on road here was hurt in the lower yards, having his oot nearly taken off by the cars. The fault was his own, for in going under a train to do some work on one of the cars, he neglected to put up his flags, so that one of the yard engines moved them without the engine crew discovering that there was any one at work there. One of the cars passed over the edge of his foot, crushing it badly. He is at his home on Washington Street.
