FRroHrrUL ACcIDENT.--YeSterday us
the ll:3O A. NJ. train came from the east,
while backing on the side track, n Piute
Indian Jumped from the rear car direct
" behind the train. OF course he was
knocked down and run over. The flat
car and four box cars went over him
crushing both legs, from the knees up,
horribly. We saw him picked up and
taken away, and remember OF seeing no
such sickening sight in our life before
The Indian was taken to the County
Hospital, and ut the present writing the
physicians are waiting to amputatc his
limbs, if any reaction takes place. 1t
seems to us almost useless to attempt to
do anything for the poor creature, for
there is hardly II hope that his life can
be saved, in fact We do not believe he
will ever rally at all, and indeed his re-
covery would be n misfortune to him.
He bore his sufferings with real savage
stoicism no gronn escaped him which
could be heard further than n few steps,
though the conyulsiye %clutching OF his
hands showed how terrible were his sui
ferincs. Some Piute women gathered
round and bewailed the misfortune OF
their brave in loud cries, and Il majority
of our citizens, led by curiosity, went to
look upon tho poor wreck, but he was
only an Indian and there was not much
fuss made over him. 1t will be n mercy
to him if he gets a speedy pass to the
"happy hunting grounds The acci-
dent was the result of the Indians "
carelessness, and no blame can be at
tached to my Of the railroad employees.
'Later-The Indian died ut 5 o'clock,
yesterday.
SERIOUS AccIDEST.-On Wednesday
last Messrs. - and Cossitt took Il
team from Mitchell's livery stable, and
started toward Huffnker's after cross
ing the bridge, -, who WINS driving,
shook the team up II little with the
whip, and when be attempted TO haul
them up he found he had more on hand
than he had bargaincd for. The team
ran in q semi.manageabls way for some
distance, when one of the bits parted /;
and then, seeing the hopelessncss Of
further effort, Cossitt Jumped out, re-
cciying a very severe confusion of the
knee, and was badly bruised generally.
The team ran to A~nderson's, where
they jumped into a mud hole and were
stopped. One of the horses "a valuable
animal) was found to have broken one
of his legs. and was of course ruined.
Yesterday Mr.. Cossi,t was quite COM
Portable, and he will soon be out again.
