foot in the local Illinois Central yards
about s p. m. Saturday. The man had

track with one foot cut off, The latter
summoned aid, and the man was taken
to hospital. The first thing he said

CRUSHED BY HUGE ROCK.
Hooking Valley Miner Meets Tragic
Death at Mine.

Cincinnati, Iowa, March ia sad
accident occurred at Hooking Valley
mine No. l, whereby Lewis Carmony
lost his life by being crushed under a
large rock falling from the roof. 1t
seems that he had been warned before
by the pit boss, Charles Yerk, that II
was dangerous. Being anxious to get
some other work done. he went ahead
with it, after being advised by other
miners to at least set three or four
props until he had time to build a sub
stantial crib.
He and his partner had just laid
down to mine out short piece that
could be easier mined before the crib
was built, when it came down, striking
him fairly and instantly crushed the
life out and just grazing his partner
giving him some severe scratches. Au-
gust Heck, a miner at one of the This
tie mines, was quite seriously hurt
Friday, but it is thought that no per-
.nanent injury will result.
There have been several small acct
tents at the mines the past few days
rs a result of the hurry Of the closing
days Of the coal year, the men exerting
every effort to make a good pay before

steep Tara HILL Elmer j. Hedman, of
this city, is seriously injured, while the
Illinois Central will lose several
freight cars. Two switch engines from
the local yards were taking some cars
the No. LOT, pulling the train, while
the other engine, No. ITO, was push
ing it. The train consisted Of sixteen
loaded cars and eight empties. which
is heavy loading on this grade. About
three miles west of the city, Night
'Yardmaster Rhodes, who was on the
rear part of the train, thought that
the ITO was working too hard. He
thought that perhaps an accident had
disabled the head engine or that the
train had broken in two. Hedman
was sent out to discover the nature
Of the accident, while another switch-
man went on top of the car to watch
Hedman's signal.
Hedman went along carefully, until
he got onto a car of rostn, and then,
without a seconds warning the car
was struck with terrific force by cars
from in front The night was Of the
darkest, and Hedman, altho on the
rear end Of the forward car, had been
unable to see, as to whether the train
was broken apart or not.
with the crash Hedman lost his
senses temporarily, and the first thing
he remembered Is being buried In the
rosin, the latter substance covering
him completely. He was stifled by the
dust that arose from it, while he was
In horrible agony from his injuries. He
fought blindly to get out from his po-
sltion, but was apparently too dazed to
aid himself SUCH 1t seemed hours to
him before ne got free from the ros1n,
and then he discovered that the car was
over him. He worked around and
around, but could not find an opening.
At last he worked himself free and
found two Of his fellow workmen
bending over him. He then found that
the crew on the front end OF the train
had discovered the parting. and had
started back to find the rear section.
The men never saw the other train I'M
til the crash came, and then the fire
man saw Hedmans lantern fly high
in the air. r So .s
Hedmans wounds were filled with
rosin, and dirt The physicians re-
manned with him all night, but found 1t
impossible to properly cleanse all the
wounds Only one could be sewed UP,
for the others are as yet partially filled
with rosin dust. The physicians state
that 1t will be three months before he
can leave his bed, even If he RECEIVERS.
The wrecking crew worked all day
cleaning up the wreck, and found 1T
necessary to burn three cars, while
others were badly damaged.
The men state that the wrackage was
jammed so close together that the only
way they told how many cars were in
it, was by counting the trucks. The
financial loss will be heavy to the rail-
road.
