Mr. Spivey was working with the

out of the way when it was unloaded
and to move others in positions to un
load and at this time the loaded car
did not quite reach the desired spot
before stopping and the truck had
been cut lo'oSe, so Mr. Spivey and a
Mr. Holmes were pinching it along
when it got away from them
knocking them down, Holmes getting
away and Spivey being caught under
the wheels, cutting his left leg in two
just above the ankle. His hand was
also injured. He was brought to Dr.
