The second trip across the river since
the ice moved, and the first passage
from the South side to Danville was
made on Saturday morning by Galen
Morgan, construction superintendent
of the bridge work.

Ross made the first trip in last Friday.
He started at the ferry landing, aud
although the ice in the river was still
running thiokly, he came straight
across the river, landing above the
bridge.
His purpose in making the trip was
to go to Red Point and look into the
condition of the false work that was
swept from the fifth 81 al when the ioe
moved. The lumber lies imbedded In
the ice alongside the shore AZ that
place.

TIE condition of William Books,
whose right leg wss amputated on
Monday as result of injuries received
from falling under the wheels of a D.
Il. 81 W. passenger train, was more
serious last night than at any time
since the accident
The lad had been steadily improving
since Monday evening and on Tuesday
evening was pronounced out of dang
er. Yesterday morning, however, a
gangreuous condition of the wound,
due TO obstructed circulation in one of
the arteries, developed.
This development is very serious. and
may make it necessary to operate again
on the leg. The doctors will hold a
consultation upon the case this morn

LEG CUT OFF
BY TRAIN

| William Books, the l6-years- old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. @. S. Books, of West
Mahoning street, while attempting to
| alight from the 4 :33 ID. L. q W. pass
enger train near the Mill street cross
ing on Monday afternoon was thrown
under the wheels. receiving injuries
that neoessitated the amputation of
the right leg below the knee.
Young Books was at one time a
Morning News carrier. Lately he has
been the agent for the New York Jour-
nal in Danville. His papers came on
the :33 d. L. & W. and it has been
his custom to board the train and sell
papers to the passengers, alighting at
Mill street, when the train reduces
speed for the crossing. On account of
an extra coach having been added to
the train on Monday he was unable to
go entirely through the train before
reaching Mill street.
Books attempted to alight from the
rear platform of the next to the last
car, but in doing so he held onto the
railing too long and lost his balance.
His body was thrown under the wheels.
and his right leg crushed
Notwithstanding, however, the ex-
tent of his injuries, the lad stated on
Monday night that he felt no pain,
and did not realize how badly he was
hurt. His first thought after falling
was that his clothing would be too
much soiled 10 appear on the streets
and deliver his papers.
He was taken 10 DR.. Paules' drug
store where the leg was amputated be-
low the knee by DR.. Curry, assisted
by D-s. Stock, Wintersteen, Paules
and New baker.
