Fireman Run Over At Altoona
Victor Oleson, a fireman on the Omanis road, was run over by his engine at Altoona on Wednesday. He had to have both legs amputated below the knee and is recovering at Eau Claire hospital, likely to survive. Oleson had recently worked as a fireman for Engineer James Delmore and, during vacation, on Engineer J. J. Clune’s passenger train. An accident occurred when he slipped while jumping onto the running board after throwing a switch toward coal sheds. The wheels passed over his legs. Two tramps, Frank White and Ed Kennedy, held up Conductor Lutterman and Brakeman Jake Kelly of freight No. 27 near Auburndale, rode to the city, and were arrested. They were found guilty of carrying concealed weapons after a hearing before Judge Hahn, fined 100 dollars plus costs or six months in jail, and sent to Grand Rapids.
