Davis, coal miner, working at the Etna
Mill, and who resides in the Garden

near the depot and expected to ride down
off, but his saving of the walk was
costly and unlucky. When in front of
Newiands store he attempted to
Jump off. and in so doing he fell
the wheels passing over the toes Of his left
foot and opened a CASH about four inches
in length up to his ankle. He crawled over
to Fennimore's horse block and took off his
shoe. He saw Charley, a son of Isaac
Wagner, a clerk in Newlard's store, and,
holding up his leg said. "Oh, Charley, got
my foot cut off, Go and tell your pap,
quick" Charley ran in and told his father,
and be and J. H. Van Pelt carried him into
Van Pelt's drug store, when, after his foot
was tied up, he was hauled home. DrS.

nee were summoned, and the big toe was
amputated. This should be a lesson to
the many boys who are eternally jumping
on and off the cars, but we judge they
will not stop it until one or two have their
necks cut off.
