CARRIED HIS SEVERED ARM

[From the New York SeSn.1
Albert Dawson, 16 years old, of 301
West One Hundred and Forty-sixth
street visited his aunt, Mrs. Lottie Ben
edict of 622 East One Hundred and
Thirty-seventh street last night. On his
way home he tried to run across the
tracks of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad at Willow ave
nue. in front of a freight train. He was
knocked down and the train cut off his
left arm just above the elbow.
Young Dawson picked up the arm
that had been cut off and walked to the
switch tower, 1000 yards or more away.
There he called to Towerman Blake and
told him what had happened. Blake
tried to telephone for an ambulance,
but the wires were out of order on ac-
count of the storm Then he tried to
telegraph with no better success. So
he put the boy on a special engine and
sent him to the West One Hundred and
Twenty fifth street police station, where
an ambulance was summoned from
Harlem hospital When Dr. BIackmar
responded the boy was weak from loss
of blood. The doctor pulled a pair of
scissors out of his medicine case and
began to cut away the boys sleeve SO
that he could get at the arm.
Don't cut any more of my arm off
with those scissors, doctor" said the
boy, trying to smile "I've lost as much
of my arm as ] care to-
He didn't lose consciousness while his
arm was dressed. The lad was taken
to the hospital.

The case is entitled ELLA Hober YER
sus Philip L. Hober and the Topeka
City Railway company" The petition
states that Mary Hober was married to
Philip l. HOber in Pottawatomie cOun-
ty in 1888 and that they have four chill
dren. The petition further says: THAT
within months after their said mar
riage the said defendant whipped and
beat her with a strap.
ALSO at the same place CPottawato-
mic county, on or about March l. 1892,
he hit her with his fist and knocked her
staggering against a safe.
ALSO on or about March /, 1899 he
pulled her out of bed by her arms while
angry, in a cruel and brutal manner,
and continued pulling her while lying on
her back, half way across the room.

Also on or about March 1, 1900, while
angry caught her by the throat and
clicked her against the wall, raised his
fist to strike her and then pulled his

it before her. This happened at their
home in the city of Topeka"
The court is asked to restrain the
Railway company from paying Hober
his wages until the case is settled.

The entire machine was planned and

of the storage battery type, while the
one he constructed is propelled by a
compound gasoline engine of seven

made in Topeka The automobile has

runs at twenty-five miles an hour as
