LEG Is CRUSHED
UNDER STREET CAR
Harry McCuIloch Badly Injured Try
ing to Board a Moving
Work Train.

Harry McCulloch, aged IS, whose
home is at 1924 Fourth avenue, fell in
attempting to board Il moving street
car this morning, and his left leg from
the knee down was SO terribly bruised
and mangled that amputation may be
necessary. An operation was post
poned at st. Anthony's hospital, where
he is being cared for, in the hope that
the member may after all be saved.
The accident took place at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Twenty-sev-
enth street. The unfortunate young
man, who is employed in Moline, tried
to catch the front platform of the
trailer on what is known as the Third
avenue tripper.' a train that is run
from this city mornings and evenings
for the use of Rock Island men en-
ployed in the Moline shops. The car
had attained considerable Roadway and
Mr.. McCulloch handicapped by his
lunch box, missed his hold, fell and
swung under the car. He was caught
by the life guard and dragged about
fifty feet before the train could be
brought to a stop. The wheel did not
reach him. He was removed to ST
hospital in the ambulance

The motion of Frederick A. Hyde. John
A Benson, Henry P. Dimond and Joost H.
Schneider, indicted in connection with al
legged public land frauds in Oregon and CAL
ifcrnia, to compel the government to fur
nish them with a bin of particulars as to
the specific charges against them, was
granted today by Justice Gould in Criminal
Court No. 1. The court then denied the
motion of the defendants to compel the
government to select as to which of the
counts in the indictments they will be tried
urcn.
The specific charges against the defend
ants is that they conspfred to defrald the
government OF many thousands of acres of
public lands In Oregon and California 1t
is charged that the defendants procured
lands from the United States for which II
is alleged. they gave in return certain
school lands, and the title of which was i'm
perfect. The local grand Jury reported the
Indictment, which is very lengthy one
containing forty-two counts, more than a
year ago.
Attorneys A. s. Worthington, F. H PIatt
and A. A. Birney appeared for the defend
ants and the government was represented
at the hearing by United States Attorney
Baker and Attorney Arthur Pugh.
