-- Samuel F. Slater who resided in this city for many years previous to his removal to the Soldiers' Home, Togus, Me., last year, was severaly bruised at the Union station, Worcester, on Friday afternoon. He started to catch the train that leaves Worcester for this city at 4:54 p.m. and crossed a track upon which a train of the Worcester, Nashua and Portland was approaching the station. Mr. Slater evidently did not see the train which struck him and inflicted a severe bruise on his right leg, a large piece of flesh being removed from the fleshy part of the leg, and he received many bruises about the head and body. He was taken to the Worcester City hospital, where he rallied from the shock and his injuries are not regarded as dangerous. |
