Ed Dutcher Hurt

NEWTON, KAN - Ed Dutcher, a conductor on the Santa Fe running on the Oklahoma division between Arkansas City and Guthrie, was taken through here yesterday at noon to the Topeka hospital.  Mr. Dutcher has charge of a local and in assisting to unload a barrel of oil on Saturday night at a station on his run, the load got the better of him and throwing him to the ground, fell across his back.  Though he is severely injured it is thought that the accident will not result seriously.  No word has been received from Topeka up to the time of going to press.

The injured man's home is in Newton, he being the son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Dutcher and a brother of Mrs. S.L. Berry and Fred Dutcher, all of this place.  Mrs. Berry and mother accompanied him to Topeka.  Mr. Dutcher is unmarried.  The Evening Kansan-Republican, Newton, Kansas.  Monday, September 2, 1907.  Page 1.  © Darren McMannis for Harvey County Genealogical Society.
