He is employed outside and was standing on the narrow gage railroad leading from the shaft when a frightened mule dashed past him and the hook which is hitched to cars caught the heel of his shoe and he was dragged several hundred feet before he realized what to do, and then with a great effort he sat up as he was being dragged along and unloosened the hook. The mule continued its’ flight, but Zimmerman lay cut, bruised and torn from head to foot. He is suffering great pain, but will recover.”
