Loses Limb Beneath the Wheels

| Samuel Harrison, a laborer ag-
cd "a years, who has been work.
ing for the q aud N w Company
on one OF the surfacing gangs for
the past few m ,nths was ground
beneath the wheels of special
freight about three miles east of
Logan yesterday afternoon. He
sustained injuries that necessitated
the removal of his left foot just
above the ankle, his right limb
WAS lacerated in several places
also, but the attending physicians
think there will be- no perm snent
injury to that limb. What his
motive was is unknown to any OF
his workers, but as a worA- train
pulled slowly past thu place where
he was at work he boarded the
train but had ridden only short
d stance when he fell off, striking
on the West bound track of the
double track system, just as spe-
cial freight train reached that
point. Shortly after the accident
he was placed on stretcher and
started for this city for treatment
by DIR. Colt the Company surgeon
but on the arrival of the train at
Logan it was decided he was q
County charge and accordingly
he was given over to the care of
the Logan doctors who perform
ed the operation.
