Ann Arbor Freight Train Was Wrecked Near Milan

ANN ARBOR FREIGHT TRAIN WAS WRECKED NEAR MILAN

-

An extra south-bound freight train on the Ann Arbor road, drawn by extra engine No. 45, struck a flock of sheep at 10 o'clock Wednesday three miles north of Milan and was ditched. 

The engine was pushing three box-cars ahead of it and Conductor P. J. Jobson was on top of the cars. He was thrown to the ground and badly injured. His collar bone was broken on both sides and one arm was shattered near the shoulder. Jobson lives in Toledo and is one of the oldest conductors on the road, and is also considered one of the best of the men. Engineer Jack Scott and Brakeman Edward Everett, both of Durand, were also injured, although not so severely. 

The cars were loaded with potatoes alcohol and pig-iron. Reports as to the condition of the wreck differ. A Milan report says that the engine is in the ditch and the tender across the track.

The passenger trains north and south transferred passengers at the wreck this afternoon. 

Dr. Hutchins, chief surgeon, went down to the scene of the accident with the intention of bringing Conductor Jobson to the hospital here.
