HURT WHILE BOARDING TRAIN

Leland Coogan, 15 years of age, residing at 1912 Mason street, was
seriously injured yesterday afternoon while attempting to board one
of the steam trains bound for the Cliff House from California 
street.  Young Coogan tried to jump on the moving train after it 
had left the depot.  The impetus of the cars threw him beneath the
wheels with serious results. At the Park Emergency Hospital it was
found that both of his legs were broken, his left arm fractured,
likewise his collarbone and the right side of his face severly 
lacerated.  Dr. Boskewitz, at the Golden Gate Park Emergency 
Hospital, stated that Coogan's injuries were not fatal.
