ENGINEER HURT WHILE ON DUTY

  Engineer Howard Beason was struck on the head by a reverse lever on 
his engine yesterday morning while passing Spruce Creek station on the 
Middle division.
  Beason was hauling train No. 19 with engine No. 3345, a bolt was lost 
out of one of the levers and it became loose and flew back, striking 
the engineer on the head, rendering him unconscious.  
  Fireman R. B. Pee quickly stopped the train and Dr. Peterson of 
Spruce Creek was summoned to give first aid, while Dr. Musser of Tyrone 
was taken to Spruce Creek on an empty engine.  The physicians advised 
Beasor's removal to the Altoona hospital and he was brought here on No. 
19, which was delayed an hour and thirty-six minutes by the accident.  
At the hospital it is thought that his injury is not serious and he may 
be able to leave the institution tomorrow.
  Engineer Beasor is aged 55, married and resides at 526 Woodbine 
street, Harrisburg.
