HEROIC CASE OF SURGERY
Engineers Leg Amputated Without
the Use of Anaesthetics.

Wv
Engineer II. A. Lipscomb, on the
passenger train, underwent probably
tile most heroic surgical operation in
modern times. Caught beneath his
engine 1t was found impossible to re.
move the broken iron from his body,
on account of the way in which one
Of his legs was entangled. Escaping
steam across his face. made it impos-
sible to administer nm anaesthetic, and
as n result his physicians amputated
his leg rs he lay there conscious. De-
spite the burning steam and the pain
of the operation he bore it bravely. 1t
is feared, however, that the man will
die.
Thanks service We're held by every
member Of "The Spring Chicken" com.
pany from Richard Garlic himself down
to the humblest chorus man. This CON-
pany of seventy-five escaped with but
one seriously injured, Alfred Daily,
the musical director. Some of tile
members received bruises and scratches
from being thrown against the seats
and sides Of the car. but the most So
rious of these was black eye which
Miss Francis Farrell, member of the
chorus, sustained by being pitched
against window sill.
In the case of Daily it was found
necessary to amputate his right arm,
thus ending his career in his profes.
sion. He was riding in the smoker
and was found with heavy timber
tightly binding him by the arms. The
theatrical people escaped because their
private car was the last one in the
train, hut Carrie himself had a very
narrow escape from serious injury.
