 Boy Loses Leg.
 Wiggs. the 12-year-old son of the Rev. J. A. Thompson. lost his leg this after noon at Sloss mines. He had gone to the mines to collect some money for books that had been sold to employees by his father and was waiting at the mouth of the shaft for some of his customers when he got in the way of some of the cars.
 Before the boy could be rescued several of the wheels had passed over his body crushing the left limb severely. The leg was amputated just above the knee.
 The patient is resting very well tonight at the home of his parents on Clarendon avenue.
