J. I. Ayera. an oiler employed by
the Hurlington sustained injuries
Thursday evening that made It nec-
er.sary to amputate both limbs, one
Just below tho knee nnd tho other at
the an Me. Ho l. now nt St. Joseph's
hospital and according to the physi
cian In charge of tho cr.se, stands a
good show for recovery. He Is re
ported to be getting along nicely at
this time.
The accident happened about nine
o'clock Thursday evening on track
number nine. Avers and Peter Ilea
wero trying to cross tho track,
through a string of cars. Ilea
crossed by climbing over the connect
ing rod between the two cars, but
Ayers. being dreased for the cold
weather and weighted down with con
siderable clothing, decided to pet
across by crawling between the
wheels.
Just at the minute Ayers was on
the rails making an effort to cross
the track a switch engine bumped
the string of cars standing on track
nine. While the car wheels did not
pass over the limbs, Ayers was
shoved some distance, his lops being
so badly smashed that It was neces
sary to have them ampuatted. He
was tn ken to St. Joseph's hospital In
the Darling ambulance. The oper
ation wis performed Friday niorn

sad underworld of crime. A gentle
man born and bred who had slipped
down the ladder from running his
