From Mondays Daily.l

several witnesses testified on Saturday
afternoon, to the effect that CHAMBERS
existed on the McClung farm.

such action on the part of G. N. Mellon
could not bind r. B. Mellon.

A Painful Injury.
A distressing accident occurred in the
railroad yards here at about Z O'Clock
Thursday morning. The work train crew,
who are engaged in the work of rip
raapping down at the river, we're ranged
on and about the train, waiting for it to
pull out Of the depot, and one of the
crew, August Walters, q young fellow, Is
or 20 years of age, sat upon a push car,
which, in turn, rested upon a fat car,
next the caboose. The train was broken
in two at the crossing of Fifth street,
the caboose and fat car being on the
farther side. When the coupling was
made, preparatory to the leaving of the
train, the jar was such that young
Walters lost his balance, rolled off the
car, and under the train, which passed
wv Liz AA6Ao 10y JuSU UoAOW Jig huo0.
He was picked up by the others of the
crew, who had gazed, horror stricken, at
the accident, and carried into the bag
gage room. DR.. Smyth was summoned
and an examination Of the injured limb,
revealed the fact that both bones were
broken, a few inches below the knee, and
in the flesh of the calf Of the leg was a
gaping wound, as though the weight of
the car had broken it, rather than cut it
open. DR.. Smyth dressed the injured
member, and made the young man COM
Portable as possible, and he was taken
home. He will be sent to Brainerd on
the first train, and the injured leg may
he saved, although the injury is a nasty
one.
