TRAMP MANNED
II. n. TORRIS HAS LEG BROKEN
AND CRUSHED.
Rode on the Pilot OF a santa he
Engine.

Last night man named r. NJ. Torris
had both legs broken while riding on the
pilot OF an engine on the north bound
Santa Fe passenger train. Torris said
that he lived at Selus, Texas. and was
heating his way north and had got on
the pilot Of the engine. About ten miles
north of Winfield the engine struck a
horse which was crossing the track.
The horse was thrown upon the pilot
and struck Torris. The right leg was
broken and the left one from the knee
down was crushed. Torris said that he
did not see the horses until the engine
was within twenty feet of them and. as
they were running at a high rate of
speed, he had no time to get out of the
way
AS soon as the train could be stopped
Torris was taken off the pilot, put in
the baggage car and brought to Wichita.
When he arrived here he seemed to be
suffering a great deal of pain, but was
able to talk and smoke a cigarette. He
claims TO be knight of Pythias in
good standing. The local lodge took
charge OF him and had him taken to St.
Francis hospital.
