Neb. The tint section of Northwestern passenger train No. 5 from the east, collided with a freight engine in the Long Tine yards at I o'clock in the morn ing. The passenger came in two sections, the first section being re ported twenty mintties late. The freight encineer on the freight (Miginc saw that No. 5 was reported twenty minutes late and not knowing about the iirst section, thought that he had twenty minutes time to get water. Mo accordingly drove his en gine on the main track up to the water tank and lilled up with water and he had just filled up when he was struck in the rear by passenger train No. 5 coining in at a fairly high speed. Tlu' force of the eollsion was so great that it drove the freight engine which had its brakes set, a distance of L'OO yards up the main lino and tore a large hole in its water lank. The pilot of the passenger enigne was all smashed and the fro'it end of the engine was smashed up. The passenger engine was derailed and the train was delayed for nbout two and a half hours. The passengers received no heavy or serious injuries, though very few of the passengers in the lirst three coaches escaped with out some injury. The lireman on the freight had a very narrow escape. He was on the tender when the col lision occurred and the force of it sent him fully fifteen feet in the air and coming down he fell in a man hole, getting a wetting, but escaping without a scratch. Jf it had not been for the holes punched in the tender by the engine of No. 5 he would have drowned. Hoy's l.c-K Is Torn olT HUMBOLDT, Neb. -A distressing n -id'cut occurred in this city when Ma-ter Irviu Kinney, the seven-year-old stepson of William Ward, a farmer northwest of town, attempted fo climb into a passing spring wagon fur a ride, and in somu manner caught his footjn the wneel, tearing the limb oil at the knee. The lad was attending the city schools but during the noon intermission had gone several blocks up street and was attempting to catch a ride back When the accident occurred. Mr. IH.sky. owner ot the wagon, was driv ing along at a rabpid jog with two or three companions and knew noth ing of the lad's attempt to climb Into the vehicle until he made an outcry and they turned to see him clinging to the back of the rear seat, then falling to the road where he lay helpless, with the amputated leg lying a short distance away. The boy mado very little outcry over the injury ami was removed to a nearby house hero the surgeons came and amputated the limb a short distance above the knee Unless some com plications ensue the victim will likely recover from th effects of the shock, af, he has been proved a decidedly nervy stock in the past few years. He sustained a broken jaw and badly lacerated face about a year ago when he was kicked in the face by a horse and compelled to wear a metal brace on the jaw for many months He is also the youngster who a few mouths prior to the above accident handled a thirty two calibre revolver and shot his cousin, iive-year-oid Krne3t Parker, in the abdomen, the Jatter being compelled to submit to repeated operation for relief.
