John w. Peters, Boy, Meets
With Terrible Accident
on Railroad.
HAND AND FOOT AMPUTATED
Lad Hurled From Brooks Crossing
to the Pave
Inent.

John w. Peters, Jr, who lives at
1857 Eighth street. in Moline, is
hanging between life and death as
the result of injuries received about
10 O'Clock last evening on the Rock
Island tracks at Brooks crossing, at
Fifth avenue and Forticth street. His
right foot and his left hand are off.
his malar bone fractured and nose
crushed. and there are bad cuts about
the face and head.
Precisely how it happened is not
clear. About 1880 the police were
notified that a boy had been killed at
Brooks crossing and the patrol was
sent to that place. Upon arriving
there the officers found that there
were stiH signs of life and the iniur-
ed lad was removed to st. Anthony's
hospital
There Drs. &. G. Craig, ST., S.
b. Hall and j. DeSilva dressed the
wounds and performed the opera
tiDns that were necessary. The left
hand was crushed and it was taken
of about two inches above the wrist.
Part of the right foot was gone and
an amputation was performed about
half way To the knee.
Dragged Under Train.
The patient revived sufficiently to
tell his name and where he resided,
but was rcticcnt as To the manner in
which he came to be hurt. He was
put under the influence of anaesthet-
les while being operated upon and
was too weak to talk afterward.
From what was gathered il appears
that he had been i'm this city during
the evening and boarded freight in
the Rock Island yards To ride to
Moline. IL is probable he was ON the
first section of train o., in charge of
Conductor Hines and Engineer Robin
son. which passed the crossing about
10 o'clock. castbound. Whether Peters
was aboard the train or whether he
attempted to get aboard at the cross
ing is not known. The portion of his
foot that was cut off was found in
side the rails and the ties ON the vi
aduct were splattcred with blood. Tn"
lad had evidently been dragged and
then thrown to the pavement over
the end of the ties.
The unfortunate youth is 16 years
of age and lives with his mother, Mrs
Pauline Peters. ut the above number.
He has been in the employ of the
Moline Plow company.
Young Peters was conscious ali
day and late this afternoon his CON
dition was considered hopeful, al
though the attending physicians con-
slider his case very serious one. His
mind appears to be Il blank with ref
erence To the events of last evening
and he is unable to throw any light
ON the details of the accident.
