COOGAN story 

____________________________________________________________________
(appearing in "Pittsfield Sun" [MA], 16 MAR 1854):

[...]

A man named Leary Coogan, a brakeman on the Western Railroad, had
a leg broken at the Station in this town on Thursday. He was getting
upon a train between two cars, when they came together with such
[force] as to drive his knee through the end of one of the cars.
