A sad aecillent occurred near the
depot on Tuesday, that cost Johnny
Cook a leg. The little fellow was
racing with the express train, when he
stubbed his toe and fell, throwing his
leo across the track, which was run
over and terribly mangled. He crawl
ed several feet toward home, where he
was soon taken there to remain an
hour or more before surgical aid could
be had. During this time he showed
remarkable courage. He said to the
boys who stood around: ''None OF
you boys want my poor leg do you !?
Drs. Rublee, Holbrook and Abbott
finally came and amputated the LEG
Just below the knee. DIR. Rublee has
charge of the case. A purse of some
So was raised at once, to supply the
temporary needs of the family. AL
though Johnny was neither jumping
ON or off the train, boys may learn {
lesson from this, and should remem
Der that the only safe way is to stand
back for moving train.
