the railroad man, about $4,000 600

Earnings of the road thus far in

were 10 per cent ahead OF those for

THE large decreases which accru-

Such an enormous increase In net

FRANK HARRIS MEETS WITH A
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
At Ogden Steam Laundry, Hand
Caught in Machine, Arm Severed
At Elbow.

Frank Harris was surely taken
through the crucial test yesterday af-
ternoon for nerve and endurance.
Those around him sickened at the
sight and their hearts failed them, he
was the most composed and level
headed of all present, and vet the aw-
full ordeal was all his. With his right
arm completely severed at the elbow
he walked steadily to- d nearby chair
and sat down to await the arrival Of
of physician. Those about him
became so excited that a fire alarm
was given which brought the fire de-
partment from station number one to
the scene in a remarkably short time
TO find that an arm nad been torn ruth
lessly from the young man.
Mr.. Harris began work for the Og-
lien Steam laundry Monday morning
and yesterday afternoon was engaged
about a machine known as the cen
trlfugal extractor, which moves with
exceedingly great velocity. II is Il
machine which revolves a large baS-
ket filled with clothes for the purpose
OF drying them. In some unaccount-
able way young Harris right hand was
and before he OF those about him knew
it. his forearm was severed at the cl-
bow.
The young man walked TO a chair
nearby and sat down and patiently
awaited the arrival of DR. Ezra Rich
who had been summoned Willing
hands proffereJ him aid to the doc
tors automobile but he refused it, stat
ing that he was all right and he
walked with a firm step to the ma

pital as fast as gasoline power could
carry him. He walked, unaSsiSted,
from the automobile into the nospit-
al and within very few minutes step
ped OF the operating table where the
balance of the arm was amputated a
few inches above the end of the lag
Sed stump the amputation became
necessary because of the mangled con-
dition of the arm, where il had been
severed, He withstood the operation
in the same complacent manner as he
passed through the ordeal at the
machine, recovering nicely from the
anaesthetic which was administered
DR. Rich stated after the operation
tnat the young man possessed remark
