Tho young man was a little behind tho mule when tho animal suddenly kicked him in tlio ribs. liichardson staggered against the brattico and then fell hack and dropped to the sills. Tho car was running at pretty lively rate, liichardson says ho prevented tlio loaded ear from passing over him by clutching ono of the axles. In this manner he was dragged about five yards. His body served a wedge between tho sills of tho track and tho car wheel and tho vehicle was stopped. When men employed in tho vicinity hurried to tho place they found Itlcliardsou lying faeo down hosido tlio rail and partly unconscious. It was feared ho had been fatally injured, but after an examination made nt the young man's home Dr. Hamilton said tlio injuries wcro comparatively blight. Tho young man's ribs and left arm showed tho effects of tho kick and dragging. Tho men who worked in tho placo say they don't sco how l.ichardson escaped tlio wheels of the car in such a narrow place. HOW THEY WERE BURNED.
