ACCIDENT AT FAIR OAKS.

Glen Oberly of Rensselaer, While working at Fair Oaks Thursday unloading ties from a tie-train, was struck on the left side of the forehead by a falling tie. The tie did not knock down but struck him a glancing blow and cutting a long gash. He was brought to Rensselaer on the afternoon local freight, and a doctor was called to the depot where the wound was dressed, several stitches being taken to draw the parts together. It is said ’he thought the unloading was completed and was walking along at the side of the train when the tie hit him.
