standing. The other boy wen, on the
other side Of the main track. When
the train had passed Fred was lying
beside the track with one foot sad leg
horribly mangled. Fred said some
thing was dragging from car In the
train, which struck him and caused
him to fall with his foot under the
whseis. IL was only a few moments
until crowd assembled and DIR. Nor
wine was on the scene. The unfor-
tunste boy was taken to the doctors
Office, and later TO his aunt's, Mrs. A.
Barth. Fred said he wasn't trying TO
climb on the train. Whether he was
or wasn't, this Is another warning 10
The small boys who make practice of
jumping on trains whenever they think
they win not be caught by the aulhori-
ties. Il Is TO be hoped that the rising
generation will profit by the experience
Of this unfortunate boy, who, while Ia

msimed for life, aud possibly bis life
made much shorter. The injured limb
was amputated by Drs. Nsrwiee and
