M. HOLLAND IS
 BADLY HURT His Leg Had to be Amputat- ed Above Ankle After Fall From His Wagon
VEHICLE OVERTURNED
Injured Man in Florence Sanitarium- Also Sustained DislOcati0n
 of Shoulder.

As "a result of serious injuries which he sustained yesterday afternIoon shortly after 5 o'clock, when a large wagon upon which he was riding ov- erturned at Second avenue and State street, M. Holland, the popular pro- prietor and owner of the Brookhlll Hotel, was taken to the Florence Sani' tarium and his left foot had to be amputated above the ankle. He also sustained a dislocation of the shoul- der. The operation was performed immediately after the accident and MT. Holland was reported to be rest ing well at midnight.
 The mishap occurred while MT. Hol- mad was within a block of his hotel and saloon, where he was en route to put up his team and his wagon, which he had received fnom the paint shop earlier in the afternoon. The wagon was presented to him some years ago by the Friedman-Keiler Company, of
 
 mirrors. The team of horses attach ed 10 the wagon did not take fright, when it overturned but remained standing until the harness could be rem,pved from them.
 MT. Holland had been driving over The city for about an hour. He drove East. on State street, from Barraque, and as he turned into East Sedond the wagon wheels are believed to have caught in the car track. AS the high wagon, upon which MT. Holland was seated. swayed to the left he was thrown to the rgiht, falling from the seat heavily to the ground. He struck on his left shoulder and the weight of his body came down ton his left leg. He was hurriedly taken to the Flor ence Sanitarium in Robinson's ambu- lance, where Drs. A. c. Jordan, w. T. Lowe and c. K. Carruthers attended hirn.
 It was found that he had sustained a dislocated shoulder and compound fracture of the left leg, just above the ankle The bone was protruding from the skin and literally spintered into several pieces. The muscles and bone for four inches above the ankle were crushed to a pulp and the foot was practically broken off from the upper part of the leg. The physicians made careful examination at the request of the injured man as he wanted to be certain if there was no chance in a thousand of saving his foot. He was finally told that am- putation was necessary and after be- ing convinced, submitted to the opera tion gamely.

COOL SW|TCHMAN
 SAVES A LIFE Gabe Meyer, Old Citizen, is Snatched From the Jaws
 of Death
Negro Woman Also Hurt-Passenger on Street Gar Panic
 StrirkCn.

Gabe Meyer, one of the best known and one of the oldest residents of this city, was snatched from a horrible death early Monday evening, when he fell after jumping from street car at Third avenue and Main street be- fore an approaching Cotton Belt switch engine. Switchman H. M. Slaughter, who wasariding on the rear of the switch engine pulled MT. Meyer from his peril6us position and dragged him several feet before the engine was brought to a standstll Lula Monegan, a negro woman, who jump ed from the car at the anne time, was thrown to the pavement and badly hurt, though not seriously. Mr. Mey- CT sustained painful bruises about the body.
 The accident followed an exciting scene on South Main street car, af- ter a brake on the car failed to wark, and when the car ran across the Cot ton Belt tracks directly in front of the approaching engine, drawing sey- eral freight cars Many ladies, passing at the time, witnessed the accident and turned their heads in hlorror eX- pecting to see Mir. Meyer ground to pieces underneath the wheels of the big iron horse.
 The flagman at Third avenue and M2in street gave the signal to the mo- torman of the car, which was run- ming south, to stop. The motorman made determined effort to bring the car to a stop, but before he could control the reverse lever, the car had straddled the Cotton Belt railroad tracks, running east and west Sever al passengers in the car, among them MT. Meyer and the Monegan woman, ran for the rear door and jumped frcm the platform. The motormam, realizing the danger, put on the cur rent and the car was carried free of the railnoad tracks, just as the switch engine swept by. MT. Meyer, in jumping, fell to the ground and rolled upon the railroad tracks. He was be- ing carried underneath the rear step of the engine, when Switchman Slaughter leaned forward from the step, grabbed the prostrate man and pulled him partially to his feet, drag ging him some distance and holding him from the engine tender as he did so. When the engine came to stop MT. Meyer was lifted to his feet and placed on the car and taken to his home on Martin avenue. He suffer- ed no serious injuries, and was able to be on the street yesterday. Many who saw the accident are compli- menting Mir. Slaughter for his pres ence of mind and quickness and say that his coolness is all th7t saved MT. Meyer from being killed. The None gan woman, who fell On her shoulder, to the street, was also cared for inn mediately and taken to her home in Lakeside.

 New Insane Asylum.
 The Senate Tuesday afternoon pass ed the Oldham bill appropri2ting S200,00 for the purchase of a site of pot less than 300 acres and the erec- tion of another insane asylum Sena- tors Covington, Watson and Clerget opposed the bill vigorously, contendng that it was an underhand move to remove the present asylum from Lit tye Rock to some other point in the state, which would be bad business. They further alleged that land spec 1otn of hn would nrofit most from it's consum- mation. It passed by vote of IS to 9.

Outshines in Competition Classy Exhibit of A. c. Vanderbilt Bridgepor,er's Success
 as Breeder

Many Bridgeport folks will be in- been scored at the Massachusetts and Vermont fairs by the Queenee Falls Farm herd of Jersey cattle. Quechee Falls Farm is located at Quechee, not far from Woodstock in one of the most attractive parts of Vermont and is the property of John G. Rowland of this city. MT. Rowland purchased the farm five years ago, placed upon it a small herd of Jerseys, and pro- ceeded to develop both the farm and the herd. As a result. he now has herd which is one of the best in New England; one so good that it carried away the prizes from the famous Oak land farm herd of Alfred G. Wander bilt at the New England fair in Wor- cester.
 7 At this particular fair, the Jersey exhibit was rated as the best in it's history and competition for prizes was very severe MT. Howland's herd car ried off eleven first prizes and three seconds Among these was the first prize for the best herd second prize going to A. G. Vanderbilt.
 At Woodstock, the Quechee herd was exhibited simply for the benefit of the fair and not in competition but at the Vermont state fair held last week it wasta a competitor. Entry was made in eleven classes and in these five firsts and five seconds were scored. Ip- cluded in these were the three high est prizes; those for senior herd, jun Tor herd and four cows in milk.
 Included in the Quechee herd are of Oaklands, the famous bull that was sold last Memorial Day at auction for SIS. 000 this being the highest price ever paid in America for a bull
