sTvMRLEs OVER HUGE ROCK
AND IS THROWN UNDER WHEELS.
SHOWS GREAT NERVE
Was Engaged in Making Up Train In
New Yards West Of City When Ac-
eident oceurred-Wanted His wife
Notified at Once.

While engaged in making up a train
in the new Northern Pacific yards,
just west Of the city, Sunday morning,
William WEIGH. a switchman in the
employ Of the company, fell under the
wheels Of a box a and his right leg
was ground to a pulp just above the
ankle. The accident occurred at 2:15
O'Clock and two hours later at the hos
pital,. DR.. Watkins amputated the
mans limb midway between the knee
and ankle joints.
1t seems that WEIGH was running
along beside the cars and in stumbl.
ing W "a huge slab Of rock, which
had fallen OF one Of the fiat cars, he
was thrown under the wheels. It was
only by chance that his whole body
was not thrown under the'car instead
of but one leg.
It Is said that It was fully Is min
utes before WEIGH was found, BY a
man who liz employed at the round
house, and who was attracted to the
spot by the cries OF the injured man.
When he reached the spot he found
that WEIGH had staunched the low OF
blood by using his handkerchief and q
stick and making q tourniquet. This
probably saved him from bleeding Ia
death before help arrived.
Been Here Since July.
WEIGH was taken to the hospital ii
the ambulance and DR.. Watkins, the
railroad physician war called. The
injured man displayed q good deal Of
nerve and insisted that unless his wife
was notified at once, he would not lie
on the stretcher. sSs
It seems that WEIGH had promised
his wife that II he was ever injured he
would see that she was notified before
he permitted anyone to move him to
a hospital, and It was not until she
had been informed OF the accident
that he would be Quieted.
WEIGH entered the employ OF the
railroad company in this city last July
