Locomotive Performs an Amputation
for W. N. Madison.

w. N. Madison, a resident of Kansas
City, had his right ear cut off by the
wheels of a switch engine while asleep by
the Rock Island track near Armourdale
early this morning. It is supposed that
he was intoxicated and lay down by the
track and fell asleep. A switch engine
passed along the track about o'clock this
morning, and the engineer noticed a dark
object by the side of the track. AS the
front trucks of the engine passed the OBJ
ject 1t was suddenly transformed into the
upright body of a. man, and the engine
men were startled by cries of pain. The
engine was stopped and it was found that
the mans right ear had been cut off near
the head and his right shoulder badly
bruised He was otherwise uninjured.
The accident is unique in railroad his
tory It is seldom that a locomotive does
as small a job of mutilation as looping
off a mans ear. It speaks well for the
size Of MadisOn,s- ears.
