a heart-rending accident occurred to
coasting party Wednesday evening,
notwithstanding the repeated warn
ings which the past has afforded of
the danger resulting from this sport.
On that evening, a sled while at full
speed down the incline at Capitol hill,
ran off the track and against post of
the fence at the Sisters Academy, in
juring several of the party, and Miss
Gertie OFT, miss of twelve summers,
seriously. Her left leg was broken be-
low the knee, in two places, and when
carried home the bone was found to
protrude from the flesh, which was
torn off for a space of about eight in
ches. Thursday the leg was ampu-
tated above the knee, the doctors
deeming this the only alternative pre-
scented to save her life. The endur-
ance and spirit of resignation mani
tested by the young lady under thee
trying circumstances, is remarkable
She bore unilinching the fearful agony
Of her wounds, and not murmur has
escaped her lips since passing through
the terrible ordeal which will so seri-
ously affect her future life. She and
her parents have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the community in their ter
rible aflliction.
