him so badly that his right leg was ann
putated at St Ltlke's hospital an hour

at 1852 West Second street, was out
on the right of way of the Rock Island
road, in the neighborhood of the giu-
cose works, picking up coal and plac-
ing it in basket, which he carried.
Several other lads were with him., A
switch engine was switching freight
cars near where the lads We're, and with
a recklessness of action that comes
from familiarity with the trains, he
even reached under the rolling cars,
which were moving slowly, for Jumps

a playmate gave him a thoughtleSs
push. Albert tried hard to regain his
balance. but failed. He slipped so that
his right leg rested lengthwise on the
rail. his body being parallel with the
car. Instantly the cruel wheel was
upon him and the leg was crushed from
above the knee to the foot.
