the comfort of ladies on the train
with respectful solicitude that
made him a great favorite.
Shortly after the train passed

bules. That was the last seen of
him by the occupants of the

unconscious then and bleeding
profusely. He was sent at once
to Harper's Ferry for treatment
and the limbs were amputated
His condition is hopeless. Diggs
lives in Baltimore, where he ha.
