HIS LEG OUT OFF.

Walter Savage, boy of sixteen, who
worked at the Desk Factory, had his
leg cut off on Wednesday morning by
the II.4o Bloomsburg and Sullivan
train. As the train was passing the
Factory he attempted to board it, but
stumbled on the rail and fell between
the cars and was rolled along by the
brake beam. The flesh was stripped
from his leg, and his head was badly
cut, and his body bruised. None Of
the train hands saw him, and they are
in no way to blame for the accident
The boy had been in the habit of
Jumping on the train, and had been
cautioned about it only the day before.
He was carried to the factory by the
hands, string was tied around his
leg to stop the blood, a stretcher was
made and he was carried out to his
home near the Furniture Factory.
Drs. Gardner and Robbins amputated
his leg in the afternoon, and this
Crhursday) morning he is reported as
doing well.
