until recently and then moved to his
old home at Bloomington, met with
a very serious accident at the Bal

his leg and was otherwise injured.
Mr.. Tibbets attempted to get on
the eastbound accommodation after it
had started but missing his hold he
was dragged some distance and then
thrown between the rails and the
elevated platform alongside the track.
The entire train with the exception
of the rear truck of the last car had
passed the point where he was lying
when he threw his leg in front of the
wheels which passed over it, severing
it just above the ankle. He was
taken to the McComas Sanitarium

occurred and there the mangled por-

McComas and Hinebaugh
