Co. disaster. Jerome Helrigel, who was
suspended by the right foot for nearly an
hour was found walking about on crutches

very painful, and were at first considered
dangerous, he hopes to be all right in a
short time. Gus. Anderson, who was
reported to have leg broken,
walked to Cincinnati yesterday, and after
drawing his salary walked home again like
little man. Edgar Plummer, who has
been suffering considerable from the loss
OF blood, was feeling much better this
morning, with good prospects of speedy
recovery. Billy Hammer, who was the
most seriously injured, is still kept at the
Hospital, and is treated as private patient
at the expense of Post & Co. Contrary to
former reports, his physicians entertain
the hope that the sight in both
his eyes will be fully restored.
