Show Painful Accident. On Wednesday Wednes-day evening, several boys were playing with a truck on the track of the Utah Southern, in the 6th Ward. One of them, a son of E. M. Wetzel, Esq., was pulling the car and walking backward, back-ward, when he stumbled on a tie and fell, his leg falling on the rail, and blocking tho car, wbioh was not run ning with sufficient rapidity to pass over it. His comrades released and carried him home. Dr. M. L. Davis was immediately sent for, who, on arriving, ar-riving, ascertained that tho leg had been broken ic two places above thc knee. The boy is doing as well as can j bo expected, but will probably give railroad tracks a wido berth henceforth. |
