Show Horribly Muuglcd. Cleveland, 1. John Wilson, aged 22 years, a brakeman on the Lake Shore fc M. S. K. E., met with a terrible ter-rible accident yesterday. As he jumped on a enr moving towaixl him, he slipped, and one foot cnught between be-tween the frog and tlte car wheel. He clung to the ladder, but was unable un-able to extricate his foot, and the car wheel ran along his leg until he was pulled down on the ground, and then ran along until, on reaching the thigh the body effectually blocked the car. The flesh was stripped oil' his leg and the bone was horribly crushed. The mangled man was taken to a physician's phy-sician's oflice. He was given an extraordinary ex-traordinary amount of chloroform, but without effect for a long time. Amputation was necessary as a last hope ot saving his life, but even that was of no avail. It is not known that he has any relations living. |
