AsAD ACCIDENT.
After ell the fun ef the day WA over, and
just - Col. King Was oongratulating himself
that he had given over O.0O children day 1t
unalloyed pleasure. . sad accident took place
which cast Rluom over oil who remained on
the grouuds. A little after Eve o'clock % ono Of
the trains from Minneapolis Was backing out
from tho station. young led named Charley
Ouqaette. whose parents reside st No 200 Sec.
ond street, East Division, undertook to jump
on the train after it was in motion. He
missed hi. bold and fell under the wheels of the
cars, And bis left leg WA cut of near the thigh
and bis right leg crushed bet Seen the foot and
knee. The poor little sufferer VAS picked up
sud tenderly carried to the residence of Mrs.
who happened to be on the ground, = tended to
bis terrible injuries. A rep.rter IL almoat daily
called upon to witness scenes of human woe,
but seldom has it been their lot to witness q
more pitiful sight than was prevented in this
case. The poor little fellow who few mo-
ments before "a. bright. laughing by. full
OF life and g'ec, lay upon . lounge, ble-ding
and apparently dying, yet he retained bis
senses and gave the GLOBE reporter his name
and place OF residence, and then, without any
signs of ,remor or fear. asked in . wiatful
voice: Do you think will die7'' There Vas
no sign of fear, no cry Of pain, but like lit
tie hero he bore his terrible msfortune. Three
hours later he Was dead.
Aside from the above accident there was
nothing to mar the pleasure of the day. Near
ly oil the children had left tho grounds before
the accident occurred and most of ,h. IN will
never kno~ tho frightful injury stained by
one OF their number, until they read it in the
0LoBE.
