RAILROAD NOTES

Saturday afternoon of this week
Howard Shoemaker, an ex-fireman of
the Rio Grande and his mother will
leave this city for their home in Dem
yer. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Shoemaker was the victim of a ter
rible accident at Green River about
month ago when he fell beneath
the wheels of moving train and his
lower limbs were cut off close to his
body. 1t was not deemed possible
that he could live and at first the
nurses and physicians merely exert
ed themselves to retain his life until
his mother could arrive. Contrary to
expectations, however. he rallied and
he was able to leave the hospital
few days>ago. There are few who
could retain their lightheartedness
and courage after suffering such
calamity as young Mr. Shoemaker un-
derwent but his nurses state that he
has never despaired or permitted
himself to become down-hearted. He
laughs and jokes as formerly and has
formed extensive plans for his flu
ture even though his legs do not
reach to the end of the seat when he
is propped up in a chair. He has
displayed the grit and heroism of a
martyr and his plans for a useful
and happy future will doubtless be
realized at least such are the sincere
wishes of his friends ili Grnad June
