BADLY MANGLED, STILL LIVES.
Was Run Over by Great Northern En-
sine Last Week and Doctors De-
SPARED Of Keeping Him Alive
Through the Night.

Mlnot N. d., Feb. 25--For strength
Of constitution and the tenacity with

life existing within him, Amundson
Johnson, who was run over last week
by Great Northern switch engine,
excells any case which has so far been
treated in the Ward county hospital.

badly mangled that the doctors de-
SPARED of even keeping him alive
through the night. His right arm was
attached to his body only by shreds
Of flesh, his right hip was ground to
Q pulp, three ribs were broken on his
right side and his head had sustained
three severe gashes.
Thinking that he would be alive for
but few hours, the operations which
were seen to be inevitable were post
poned until the morning. Saline solu-
tions and drugs were injected at fire.
Iquent intervals and every effort was
made to make the man more comfort
able. for by his evident perseverance
he had won the sympathy of the hos
pital force more than the ordinary pa
tient,
The morning following the accident
he was still alive, and after consul
tation the arm was amputated While
under the influence Of the anaesthetica
the hip was examined and ii was dis
covered that the socket was completely
smashed.
Johnson survived the operation and
seems to be recovering. His leg will
be taken off this week and 1t may also
be necessary TO perform an operation
on his head to remove all loose splinters
of bone The case Is 4 remarkabie
one az the doctors had absolutely no
hopes Of his surviving.

try Form Big Corporation.

Jersey City. N. u, Feb. 25.-A com
bination of all the silk dyeing con-
Germs In the country has been effected
and an act Of Incorporation has been
applied for here today. Most OF tn
dyeing houses have their plants and
offices in Patterson, in this state, and
about nine-tenths Of the members Of
the combination are represented by
plants in Patterson. The merger will
represent a very large capital probably
$12000,000. The Ashley and Baily COM
pany, which lately acquired the Will

Keans Dyeing Co, Wefdmann Silk
Dyeing Co, the Geerning Dyeing Co,
with the largest silk dyeing plant in
the United States, and many other
concerns, have entered the combina-
tion. The reason given by d promi-
nent manufacturer for the combination
of the dyeing interests is to raise the
price Of dyeing the raw silk, which has
been gre atty affected BY competition
during the past few years One other
cause given for the unity of interests
Ii a plan to compel manufacturers to
stand the loss of all the silk damaged
In the dyeing process. Much silk ~
srotted In dyes in the course OF d year.
and for this the dyehouse owners are
compelled 70 reimburse the manufac-
turers and they are compelled to main-
tain a full line of raw silks to replace
the damaged goods Most of the dye
ing for Pennsylvania silk concerns ls
done Ia Patterson and plants In York
Columbia, Boston and all over the
country will be affected by the central Il
izing OF the dyeing interests.
