Men rushed to his side and found him unconscious, and called Dr. Edward R. Clark of Castleton, who gave him first aid and he was rushed to the hospital. one thigh was fractured, an arm was broken, there were many serious cuts about his head and face, besides terrible body bruises and internal injuries.
