RALPH FROLICH HURT.

He was Struck by a Pennsylvania Train Saturday.

Ralph Frolich, a Pennsylvania section foreman, was hit by a train near Earl's crossing, west of the city, Saturday morning at 9 o'clock and sustained a fracture of his right arm and received several cuts on the face and about the head. He was taken to Mt. Airy hospital and after his injuries had been cared for was taken to his home in Water street. His injuries are not considered of a serious nature.

Mr. Frolich was working with a number of men and stepped from one track to get out of the way of a train and stepped in front of another. He was brought to the city at once and and remained conscious during the trip and his stay at the hospital.
