SAD ACCIDENT.
After all the fun of the day was over, ar
just as Col. King was sonRratulating himses
that he had given over 10, 900 children day us
unalloyed pleasure, sad accident took place
which cast gloom over all who remained on
the grounds A little after five O clock as one OF
the trains from Minneapolis was backing OUT
from the station, young lad named Charley
Dug dette, whose parents reside at No 200 Sec
ond street, East Division, undertook to Jump
on the train after it was in motion. He
missed his hold and fell under the wheels of the
cars, and his left leg was cut off near the thigh
and his right leg crushed between tho foot and
knee. The poor little sufferer was picked up
and tenderly carried to the residence of Mrs.
Orange King, near the track, where DR.. French,
who happened to be on the ground, a tended to
his terrible injuries. A rep rter is almost daily
called upon to witness scenes of human woe,
but seldom has it been their lot to witness
more pitiful sight than was presented in this
case. The poor little fellow who few mo.
ments before was bright, laughing boy, full
of life and glee lay upon a lounge, bleeding
and apparently dying, yet he retained his
senses and gave the GLOBE reporter his name
and place of residence, and then, without any
signs of tremor or fear. asked in a wistful
voice: DO you think will die?' There was
no sign of fear, no cry of pain, but like lit
tie hero he bore his terrible misfortune. Three
hours later he was dead.
Aside from the above accident there was
nothing to mar the pleasure Of the day. Near
ly all the children had left the grounds before
the accident occurred and most of them will
never know the frightful injury sustained by
one of their number, until they read it in the
GLOBE.
