George Struble Hurt.

----
Information was received in this city this morning that George Struble, son of John T. Struble, of Scott, was injured at Muscatine this morning. He was a brakeman on a regular freight train on the Muscatine Western division of the B. C. R. & N. and has been so employed since last fall. He had been at work but a short time when he had his thumb hurt. No definite word is received as to the extent of this injury, it merely being stated his arm was hurt, nor is it even certain that the injury occurred while at work on a train. Evidently it is somewhat severe as his wife was summoned from their home in Montezuma, and a telegram to her mother, in this city is the only news of the accident.
