The man, who proved to be I. J. Wiley, a freight brakeman, was unconscious. Dr. Thompson, of Spruce Creek, was summoned and dressed the wounds of the unfortunate man, and on Way Passenger he was taken to the Altoona Hospital, the Doctor accompanying him. He had evidently fallen from the train, a distance of twenty-five feet, as it was passing over the bridge. He resides in Harrisburg where he has a family. He has since died.
