Foot Crushed by Car.
John Lincoln, the thirteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Lincoln, who
reside in the houso at the cemetery
gate, had his left foot so badly crushed
by a car wheel yesterday forenoon that
amputation was made at the ankle.
A freight, passing the Willow street
crossing broke tho air hose and stopped
to put in a dummy connection. While
the train was thus stopped tho boy at
tempted to crawl under a car but b?
foro he could cross, the train started
nnd his left foot was caught by the
wheel. Ho managed to catch the rods
underneath the car and supported him
self until tho Iddings' elevator was
reached when his cries attracted the
attention of one the employes and he
was rescued from his perilous (position
and it was a timely rescue, for the lad's
strength had about given out. Com
pany physicians were summoned and
the operation followed.
