PER|LS OF The CITY
LITTLE TOT LOSES LEGS WHILE
PICKING COAL TO COOK THE
FAMILY MEAL.

Sioux City Journal: Little Anna
Nuremberg last evening set out at her
mothers bidding from her home at
2002 Floyd River road to CLEAN In
the Omaha railroad yards a few
Jumps of coal with which to cook the
meal that Mrs. E. Nuremberg had got
together.
Often before she had done 1t, and
had found 1t difficult enough TO find
Jumps sufficient to fill her sack.
This time luck seemed with her.
Under a string of boxcars was such a
lavish pile as seldom she had found
enough for the cooking of ever so
many Of the Nuremberg family meals.
Crawling between the rails Anna be-
gan to fill her sack.
Then came a humping and clank-
ing and a shivering of the string OF
cars beneath which she crouched,
The cars began to move, and Anna
crawled for safety. She was too
late. The rumbling Of the railroad
yards rose above her scream The
switching string passed on, and 10
year-old Anna lay quiet. both her
legs cut off clearly above the knees,
Switchmen found her and she was
taken to the st. Joseph hospital,
There 1t was said early this morning
that her condition was very critical
