A brakeman on the Postville branch of the B. C. R. & M. R. R., named Charles Morse, fell between the cars of the mail train Monday afternoon, about two miles north Clermont, the cars passing over his right leg below the knee and breaking his left leg. He was taken to Postville where everything was done for his comfort. The physicians think his recovery probable.
