FRACTURES l\ ALTO WKKl'K
Al Winkler one of Nome’s very
capable transfer men received some
very serious injuries last Wednes
day while driving his car over a
bridge at Rocker creek on the Nome
Ft. Davis road.
The front wheels of the car In
which Al was driving, struck a high
place ..n one side of the bridge
which caused the wheels to be
thrown at an angle and run off the
side of the bridge. The car turned
completely over in it’s downward
descent from 'the bridge, and Al was
on the bottom when the car struck,
a native boy who was riding with
Al at the time of the accident was
uninjured and when Al regained
consciousness the Native was en
deavoring to drag him from beneath
the wreck by the hair, upon realiz
ing that Al was still alive the Native
was heard to remark "Ah you no
speak for long time. I think sure
you dead.”
Al sustained a fractured and dis
located arm at the right elbow and
what is said by the Doctor to be a
slight fracture of the scull over the
After the accident Al walked back
toward the center of town and was
picked up by R. B. Julian's auto
and taken to Doctor Welch’s office
in the M. & M. Bank Building from
where he was later taken to the
hospital. Al is veny optimistic in
regards to the accident, he stated
that he disliked very much to be
confined to bed during this fine
weather but if It was storming it
would not be so bad.
ATs many friends wish him a
speedy recovery, from the injuries
which are no doubt of a very pain
ful nature, and hope to see the con
genial transfer man back on the
job again soon.
