COUNT BONl is FURIOUS.

ing His Cousin.
Paris, April Although Madame
Anna Gould, before her departure
from Paris for the United States, re-
peated1y denied to intimate friends
that she had any intention of marry
ing Prince Helie de Sagan the prince
was welcome guest at her city and
country residences for months and
they often dined and went to the the
ater together. Madame Gould has al
ways been regarded as headstrong by
her friends and consequently they
would not be .astonished if she per-
sisted in marrying the prince despite
the disastrous results of her marriage
to Count Boni de Castellane and the
present opposition of her family.
Count Boni de Castellane, who is a
cousin of the prince, is represented
as being furious at the confirmation Of
his suspicious and the Paris news pa
pers naturally are having considerable
fun over the idea Of Madame Gould's
re.entry into the French aristocracy
as the Princess de Sagan at reduced
fortune Of only 100000 a year, that
sum being regarded as prodigious in
France. The Gil Bias is especially
hilarious over the princes alleged re-
ply to an insinuation that he was
fortune hunter, in which he said:

MINISTER USES PENkN|FE
Amputates Leg of Man Pinioned
in Railroad Wreck.

st. Louis, April Five persona
were injured In a collision of a Bur.
Mngton railroad passenger train with
. freight near here. J. A. MoKittriok,
q stookman, was pinioned under the
wreokage by his left leg, which was
nearly crushed off at the knee. Scald-
ing steam from the damaged passen-
ser locomotive was enyeloping him
and to save McKittrick's life Rev. R..
G. Allen of Grove City, Pa, cut off the
leg with a pocket knife.
With steam enveloping him Mckit-
trick pulled out his knife and handed
it to Rev. Mr.. Allen, who with others
was trying to drag the man loose from
the wreckage, commanded the minis
ter to cut off the crushed leg and save
him from being scalded to death.
Mrs. Emma Renner, trained nurse
from Cincinnati, passenger, pressed
bottle Of whisky to McKittrick's lips
and told him to drink. ''Ill try little
of 1t" said McKittrick, "'but 1 haven't
touched drop of the stuff in five
years." The steam from the engine
increased in quantity. "Cut off that
leg. l can't stay here and die" shout
Cd McKittrick
The minister then began cutting at
the tendons with the knife. It was
dull and McKittrick suffered intense
agony. Throw it away and get an
axe" he finally cried out. But Mr..
Allen desperately continued and in a
few minutes had severed the tendons
and McKittrick was carried into a car
At once Mrs. Renner, the nurse, made
tourniquet of her veil and staunched
the flow Of blood. Soon afterward Nc
Kittrick was given attention by ply
stefan and was later brought to ST..
Louis hospital
