dent Last Night.

Andrew d. Burt, carpenter. had
narrow escape from being crushed to
death by a Lagoon train at 1880 last
evening, as he was trying to board an
incoming train that was moving at the
rate Of about seven miles an hour. As
a result of the attempt he lost his right
hand and forearm and nearly bled TO

were already on the train, and In his
anxiety to Join them, Burt grabbed
wildly at the coach. He made final
effort to seize the guard of one of the
rear coaches, but missed and fell to
the ground. In falling he turned COM
pletely around and struck on his back
his right hand falling across the rail.
The wheels passed over his arm,
mangllng It in horrible manner. and
missing his head by only about two
inches. The train crew did not know
of the accident and the train was not
stopped. Some Of the passengers on
the third coach witnessed II, however,
and reported the matter to the crew
on the incoming train.
A number Of persons who saw Burt
fall rushed TO his assistance, and
Manager Critchlow OF Lagoon hastily
summoned a doctor from Pennington.
But for the latters promt arrival
Burt would have bled TO death. The
injured man was placed on train and
brought to the Holy Cross hospital in
this city and Dr. Mayo operated upon
the injured arm, removing the man
gled portions.
