several different occasions AT one time
as has already been mentioned in The
Post. he was selected to accompany Lieu
tenant Colonel l.. NJ. Maus OF the medical

he was stationed at Quenados, suburb of

The young steward has decided. after a
residence OF six or seven months on the
island that IL is not bad place in when
to live. He is not, however, at all favor

that they are. generally speaking, ignorant
and by no means % be relied on. They

Two Men Bumped By Street

Both legs cut off below the knee and

little Neal Howard, the 61year-old son
of Erin Howard of 724 South Third
West street yesterday forenoon. Neal
was playing with his brother Byron on
the corner of Eighth South and Third
West about 1915. when a gravel train
of the Park City branch overlook them
going west.
The boys concluded to come up
town and see the parade, and as the
train was maving slowly, Neal ran for
ward and got on. He had ridden but a
short distance when he turned and no
tictd that his brother had not followed
He then jumped off. alighting on a
bank of gravel and falling back onto
the track.
The wheels passed diagonally across
his legs, crushing both into a pulp. He
was taken home and then TO st. Marks
hospital, where Drs. Bascom, Worth
ington and Ellerbeck amputated both
limbs. the right at the knee and the
left just below. The little fellow is
courageous and stood the operation

but his chances for recovery are doubt
full.

and five children.

BAD RUNAWAY SMASH.
Mother and Five Children Injured On
Main Street.

The sight of a mother and five chill
dren being thrown headlong from a
wagon to the street pavement, after a
| collision with telegraph pole, marred
the pleasure of hundreds of pedestri-
ans yesterday morning, who saw but
were unable to help the victims in their
predicament.
David Jones of Murray, with his wife
and family, were driving on First South
street in a spring wagon with two
horses attached. AS they reached the
clock corner, the horses took fright
at some object and started to kick. Mr.
Jones held fast TO the reins, but the
pole of the wagon dropped and the off
horse got his foot over and started
madly down the street west.
a hundred men started to the rescue
but were powerless. so great had the
speed of the frenzied animals in
creased. In front of Dinwoodeys store,
after running $50 yards, the wagon
struck a pole and the occupants were
pitched violently to the pavement.
1t was thought the mother and one
child were killed. and a rumor to that
effect was rife all day. Mrs. Jones was
carried to a room over the Equitable
Coop and the father and children into
the store. Their injuries were attended
to by DR.. Anderson, who was in the
vicinity.
Mrs. Jones, VINO apparently was most
seriously injured, sustained a severe
scalp wound and Mr.. Jones was cut
over the right eye. His hand. too, was
badly lacerated. Willie, the 16-year-
son, who is a cripple. was badly bruised
about the head and the others escaped
with more or less trifling injury They
were all resting easily last night though
their escape from death was little less
than miraculous, according to eye wit
