 The committee was actuated in call ing the convention for Wednesday night by the fact that Monday Is council night and the meeting night for the Maccabees, while the Arctic Brotherhood meets Tuesday night. The purpose was to have the conven- tion as early next week as date could be selected which would be available for all the citizens of the city.

HAS FOOT CRUSHED
Burtis Alsut, Of Hayesville, Falls
Beneath Moving Train.
AMPUTAIION WILL Be NECESSARY
Lost His Hold While Attempting to
Board a Northbound Milwaukee
Freight Train at Hayesviile-Was
Taken to Sisourney for Operation.

Hayesville, March 11.-(Special.)-
Losing his hold as he attempted to
board a moving north bound Milwau-
kee freight train yesterday, Burtis AL
suit, a farmer who resides three miles
west of Hayesville, fell beneath the
wheels, having one of his feet ground
to pieces by the heavy wheels.
Amputation Necessary.
Physicians were Immediately called
and an examination of Mr.. Alsut's in
juries disclosed the fact that the bone
was completely crushed and it was de-
cided that amputation would be neces-
sary.
Shortly after the injured man had
been taken from beneath the wheels
of the cars he was moved to Sigourney,
where another examination of the
wounds was made, and it was found
that it would be necessary to make an
amputation of the leg about three
inches above the ankle.
Nj. Alsut is a farmer residing three
miles west of this place and is well
known in this vicinity. He is a mar.
ried man about 35 years of age. 1t is
expected that it will be necessary for
him to remain in S%igourney for at least
two or three weeks.
