TREY TRIED IN VAIN TO SAVE
 HIS ARM.


 John Noonan, Brakeman, Seriously
 Injured at His Dangerous Work.
 John Noonan, brakeman on the way freight train No. 6O6, met with a serious accident yesterday morning shortly after o'clock. The accident occurred in front of the F., s. and w. shop in Southington. He was climbing onto car when he lost his hold and fell. He was rolled about under the car and was very badly injured He was taken into the office of the Aetna Nut company, where pr. Steadman visited him. The south-bound passen- ger train was Tagged and the injured man was placed on stretcher and taken to the hospital in this city.
 At the hospital last night physicians said that he had a bad cut over the right eye, and his left arm was very badly lacerated. The physicians tried to save the arm, but it continued to grow worse and caused his great agony. Noonan refused to consent to the operation until late last night, when the doctors told him it was a question of losing his life or amputat- ing the arm. He then consented and heroically underwent the operation. His condition is serious, but it Is thought that he will recover unless some unforeseen turn occurs.
 Noonan's home is in Glen Falls, N. r.. but he had lived until recently at 52 Cedar street, this city, and was to have been married next Monday morn ing at 7:30 in Sacred Heart church to Miss Elizabeth McCabe of 93 Putnam street, who is employed at Ferry's bakery.
