Little John Wise Meets With Horrible Accident at Gate City-Stood
 His Pain Bravely. v

Johnnie, the 9-year-old son of MT and Mrs. John Wise. Gate City, met with an accident yesterday morning which cost him a-foot and leg.
 The little fellow attempted to jump on a moving freight train, but missed his hold and fell under the wheels. The wheels rolled over both legs, crushing them so badly that amputation' was nec- essary. f
 The unfortunate lad was taken to his parents home and physicians summoned. Dr. Stoves, of Gate City, and pr. Wy man, of this city arrived as soon as pos sible, and found it necessary, on exsmina- tion, to amputate the left leg above the knee and the right foot
 The little fellow, seeing the great grief of his parents before the physicians ar rived, said, Don't cry, mamma and papa He stood the excruciating pain with heroic fortitude
 At last accounts he was resting we'll with strong prospects of recovery.
 MT. Wise is an employe of the Alabama rolling mill, Gate. City, and highly re- spected in that community.
 THE LITTLE FELLOW DIED.
 At 10 o'clock last night a telephone mes- sage was received in this office from Gate City, stating that the lad, Johnnie Wise, began to sink rapidly after nigntfall and a few minutes before II died. The death is sad one and greatly to be depiored.
