of his wagon broke aud he Was thrown
forward upon the tongue, between the
wheel horses. In some way the tongue
of the wagon struck his right leg below
the knee, breaking il in two places. He
was taken to the Daney boarding house,
and Drs. Zabriskie, of Silver City, and
McMeans sent for. They found the leg
so badly broken and spliatsred that it
was useless to attempt TO sav il; accor-
dinghy it was amputsted below the knee.
The unfortunate young nan bore the
operation with such fortitude as even to
as,onish the physicians. When some
thing was said about his bearing it so
we'll, he said: 1.-The damage is done and
it can't be helped the leg must come
off, and there is no use Of making a fuss
about it now" Both bones Of the leg
were found 10 be shivered into numer-
Gus fractures.
