ket Street Crossing.
RUN OVER BY ENGINE IN OTTUMWA
Accident Occurred Near Market Street
Bridge Today-Is Now in the OF
tunlWa Hospital-Patient Resting
Easy.
From Monday's Daily.l

TFrom Mondays Daily.l
John Ray, of Cincinnati, young
man about &c years of age, is lying in
the Ottumwa hospital with his left
foot amputated just above the ankle
joint as result OF an accident which
he received at $3.50 this morning, while
attempting to board G.. B. & @.
switch engine, in charge of foreman
Charles Harkins.
How the Accident Happened.
The distressing accident happened
on the south track, just even with the
Market street bridge. The switch
engine had just come onto the main
line from the switch that leads down
to the Milwaukee freight depot. They
pulled up on the main line and stopped
directly in front of the bridge. The
switchman threw the switch east of
the bridge and gave the signal for the
engine to move. The engine started
slowly east and had not gone more
than ten feet when young Ray who
was standing on the walk, with a
large bundle under his arm, Just
south of the track attempted to get
on the foot board of the tender, but
in some manner lost his hold and his
left foot was run over by the engine
and literally crushed into pulp.
Not Seen by Engineer.
The engineer was in the north side
of the cab and did not see Ray as he
attempted to mount the tender. The
first intimation he had that there was
anything wrong was the cry of those
who had seen the accident telling him
to stop. This he quickly did, the en-
CINE having only gone about eight feet
from the place where Ray mounted the
tender until it had been brought to a
stop.
Taken to Hospital.
1t was seen at once that the man
had been badly injured. The patrol
was summoned and he was taken to
the hospital. After an examination by
tie physicians they decided that the
injured member was in such condi-
ton that amputation was absolutely
necessary. Accordingly DR.. N. A.
Baker assisted by DR.. A. o. Williams,
DR.. M. Bannister and DR.. J. B. Wilson,
amputated the foot just above the an
kle joint.
Is Resting Easy.
The latest reports from the hospi-
tai are that the patient is resting easy
He has been asleep since the opera
ton was performed and unless some
thing unlocked for should arise it is
expected that he will get along all
right
