Chapter L: M. Lumpkins, section foreman, injured Feb. 20, at Graves; he

was helping car repairer, and had jacked up a car in order to move
the trucks, but when ready to let the car down the jack would not
work, and all at once gave way, and Lumpkins was struck on the
head by the lever and knocked down, injuring him.

R. J. Hopkins, laborer, injured June 22, at Osazi, was giving
signals to have train, loaded with ties, moved, when cable broke
and hit him in the face.

In the same category, while perhaps not of the same class, come accidents at coal chutes and water tanks, roundhouses, stations, and other places. Had inspectors, repairmen and employees using the appliances, done as they would have done if the loss occasioned by neglect was to be theirs, none of the following accidents would have happened:

Will Flanigan, cinder pitman, injured May 21, at Cranby shops, was
raising cinder bucket with hoist; chain broke, and the bucket fell
on his foot.

Frank Hogan, fireman, injured in Colby yard, March 16; had just
finished coaling engine and pushed up lever to shut off the coal,
when the pulley, over which cable works, dropped and struck him on
the head.

W. R. Brady, fireman, injured at Quarton, June 1; was standing on
tank of engine to take water; rope was frozen and coiled up and he
could not reach it; got the ash hoe and caught the rope and pulled
the spout down; when it was part way down it fell and struck Brady
in the back.
