J. N. GAUNT IS
SERIOUSLY HURT
Arm Had to be Amputated
Last Night At Davis
Hospital
CONDITION SERIOUS
Was Struck BY Freight Train At SOr.
rells Station, While Inspecting
Work

A serious and perhaps fatal acct
dent occurred yesterday morning just
before noon at Sorrells, station
nine miles south of Pine Bluff, when
Roadmaster J. M. Gaunt, OF the Cot
ton Belt, was struck by an engine
pulling through freight in charge
of Conductor George Hamilton and
Engineer Will Graves.
The accident occurred while Road
master Gaunt was standing on the
side tract at the station directing
the work of a section crew on the
main line. The section foreman,
knowing that freight train was due
soon, had opened the switch to al
low the train to pass over the. side
track, as the work on the main line
caused the removal of several ties,
making the track unsafe. Roadmaster'
Gaunt evidently did not think of the
train passing on the side track, as
he remained standing on the enc "a
the ties until hit by the engine. The
engineer and fireman on the freight
saw Mr.. Gaunt standing on the track,
but recognizing him as railroad
man supposed that he would step
away from the track before the en-
CINE reached him, and made no eff
fort to stop the train. The injured
man was struck by the pilot beam
on the engine and thrown heavily
to the ground. The train was
brought to stop and Mr.. Gaunt
placed in the caboose and hurried
to this city, where he was convey
ed to Davis Hospital in an ambu-
lance. An examination by the COM
pany surgeon revealed the fact that
Mr.. Gaunt's left arm was crushed
and broken between the elbow and
shoulder, while the right side of his
face was cut and bruised.
He was given temporary relief and
the physicians decided that his left
arm was so badly crushed and broken
that amputation would be necessary
Mr.. Gaunt was suffering from the
shock of the accident to such an extent
the chief surgeon decided to wait un-
til o'clock last night before perform
ing the operation. At that hour the
arm was amputated just below the
shoulder and the statement was made
that he patient was in very critical
condition an hour after the operation
While the physician in charge would
make no statement as to the probable
outcome, it was asserted that Mr..
Gaunt was suffering from the shock
and operation and that his chances
for recovery were slight.
Mr.. Gaunt resides at No. 1919 East
Sixth avenue with his wife and four
children, and has large circle of
friends in this city who will regret to

GERMANS Protect
own Interests
Acts Independently of Unit
ed States With Regard
To Mexico
DIAZ WILL BE LANDED
Administration At Washington Wor.
ried Over Attitude Of England
and Germany.
DIAZ WILL BE LANDED

Washington, Oct. o2-Germany has
followed the lead of Great Britain for
independent action in the Mexican
situation.
On orders from the German foreign
office the commander of the German
Cruiser Hertha, at Vera Cruz, today
sent marine officers aboard of the
Corcovodia, the German ship in
which Felix Diaz arrived in Vera
Cruz harbor.
AS explained by officials here, the
object, of the Germans is to take
care henceforth of their own inter-
ests. 1t is believed that Germany
must have had in mind just such in
references with her shipping when
she sent her own naval forces to
Mexico to act Independently of the
United States naval forces in Mexi-
can waters.
Germany is obliged to take care of
General Felix Diaz, while he is on a
German ship, and it is declared that
even if President Huerta should say
he could not land, he would be land
ed, but subject to the laws of Mexi-
co. Germany resents the attitude
of Huerta in seeking to make the
German ship place for playing
local Mexican politics.
The administration is plainly wor-
ried over the open hostile attitude
of Great Britain and the action of
Germany. 1t was admitted at the
State Department today that this
government has been appraised Of
ficially of the views Great Britain
expressed during the recent confer
ence at London between Ambassador
Page and the British minister for
foreign affairs.
Privately, officials here express
the same opinion that is expressed
public in England, namely that the
diplomatic passages. between the two
governments have produced an UNI
pleasant degree of friction which re-
quires very careful diplomatic handl-
ing.
