RAILROAD CLERK HURT
 
Howard W STANGE, age 19 years, of No. 3029 Arlington avenue, died at
the West Penn Hospital at 3 o'clock this morning from injuries
received while riding in a gondola car at Thompson Station of the
Pittsburg, Virginia, & Charleston Railroad yesterday. He was a clerk
employed by the railroad and had occasion to board a gondola car which
was filled with steel bars. The cars were shunted through the yards,
and the bumping caused a large steel bar to be dislodged. It fell on
STANGE's legs, badly crushing them. He was taken to the hospital
yesterday afternoon. He had been employed by the railroad for the
last year.
