 A rush call brought the ambulance from the Emergency hospital to the scene, and Barter after receiving first aid treatment from Dr. B. J. Burns, was removed to St. Vincents hospi- tai The young man is suffering greatly from loss of blood and shock, and his condition is said to be crtti- cal.
 It is said that many employees of the Graphophone company are in the habit of climbing between the cars of freight trains which are frequently standing on the siding near Howard and Railroad avenues at uoOutime. By taking this short cut the men save a long walk and a good deal of time. This practice is an exceedingly dan gerOus one however, and steps will probably be taken to stop the would be time savers from cutting between the cars.
