Leg Cut off by Train.

Master Willie McMickles, a young boy who had been in the employ of MT. J. T. Sanders for several months, went to Wynne in company with sev- eral other boys. last Sunday afternoon on the Wild West circus train, their object being to see the circus unload ed and see the sights.
 They arrived at Wynne without un- usual incident, and when they had "seen the animals" they boarded a freight train coming south. At Colt the car in which the boys were riding was sidetracked, and they scrambled out and boarded the main train again. Young McMickles was the last to catch on to the train, and in doing so, ran into a cattle guard, lost his hold, and fell to the track, his right leg crossing the rail under the wheels and being cut of below the knee. He was picked up and taken back tc Colt, where Dr. Stewart gave him medical and surgical attention and sent for Dr. Rush.
 Dr. Rush and MT. J. T. Sanders an. swered the summons, and when they arrived, found young McMickles in a very critical condition, with pulse at 15o to l75, and symptoms very unfav- orable for the operation which was necessary, so they postponed it until Monday evening at 6 o'clock, when

Dr. Strong also assisted in the opera tion. and the leg was amputated above the knee.
 The boy was able to be moved we'd nesday and was brought home on a stretcher. He is said to be getting along nicely now, and as well as can be expected under the circumstances
 We deeply sympathize with the young boy in his great misfortune and we sincerely hope this will be a lesson to others to keep of of trains unless they have business on them, and then to get on while the train is standing still.

chased on Staten Island. The city lin
its are very extended. A good slice
is taken off Westchester county at the
north, the whole of one end of Long
Island at the east, while Staten Island
entire is included at the south. There
are wooded districts within these
boundaries-brushy hills and swampy
thickets- of them well nigh in
accessible. There are fresh water
streams and lakes, and there are vast
areas of salt water; also there are
wide set meadows or marsh lands
where the waters of ocean and bay
and sound swept long ago and where
salt creeks and inlets still make and
ebb with the tide. Such haunts as
these are ideal, and the creatures that
have held them against three centuries
of civilization are not to be easily
driven away-Albert Bigelow Paine in
