l. Now in st. Joseph's Infirmary

Peter Higgins, an oiler in the en-
ploy Of the Houston and Texas Gem
trail railroad, met with a peculiar
accident at the round house of the
road Thursday afternoon, From
some unexplainable cause, a blood
vessel in Higgins leg broke and the
man lost a great amount of blood
before medical aid reached him. He
was taken to the hospital where the
doctors on examination found his
heart action weak from the loss of
so much blood His condition is not
considered very serious.
A week ago Higgins sustained a
slight accident to his leg and the
bursting of the blood vessel is
thought to be a result of that acci-
dent.
Higgins is married and resides in
the Stove Foundry addition.-Fort
