RIGHT FOOT AND PART OF LEFT ARE AMPUTATED Powell Coming Hero to Become Inspector of end Anxious to Got Off Train Near Peopla on Station Platform Witneas Accident. As the result of falling In a faint from the steps of Minneapolis St. Louis passenger train No. 101 at 9:05 this morning, E. J.

Powell, unmarried, aged 23, assistant civil engineer of the road, living at Oskaloosa, will be a cripple for life. Both of Powell's feet went beneath the wheels, the right one being, crushed so badly that it had to bo amputated. A part of the left foot was also amputated. Many people on the union station platform witnesed the accident. At first it was thought that Powell had fallen as he tried to get off the moving train.

According to the victim of the accident, however, he fainted, or at least feels sure that he did, as ho remembered nothing about falling, and realized for the first time that he had been hurt when he became conscious shortly after the accident. Became III on Train. Powell became ill on the train, suffering from severe cramps in the abdomen. J. R.

Cummlngs, engineer, and John Reid. another assistant, were with the young man. The trio were standing on the platform of the passenger coach, and because of his illness Powell remarked to his companions that he would get off opposite the station, as the train pulls to the extreme west end of the platform. Spectators on the station platform saw Powell as he seemed to sink down and fall slowly from the coach steps. He clung to the hand-holds of the coach and was dragged about twenty feet.

Powell might have been killed had it not been for S. J. Jackson, supervisors of bridges and buildings, who pulled him from beneath the wheels. Condition Fairly Good. Altho he had lost much blood, and suffered greatly from shock, Powell's condition was declared by Dr.

H. H. Nichols, the company's surgeon, to be fairly good following the amputation. The right foot was taken oft above the ankle, and the left across the Instep. Powell was hurried" in an ambulance to the Deaconess hospital.

Just what sort of a complication Powell's illness may produce in the case of his accident, remains to be seen. Dr. Nichols was not able to get from the injured vman much of the tory of his illness, and does not know whether the" abdominal trouble was due to appendicitis or some less serious ailment. Powell was coming here to work on the of which he was to be the inspector. MEETS DEATH ON RAILS.

Unidentified Man Victim of Railroad Accidsnt Near State Center. An man, presumably about 35 years old. was killed some time Saturday night or Sunday morning at a point about one and one-quarter miles west of Lamoille. The crew of a freight train reported at State Center at 7:30 Sunday morning that parts of a man's body were lying on the track. Coroner Lynn investigated, secured as good a description of the man as was possible, but conducted no inquest.

From all indications the man had fallen from between two cars, or from the rods of a box car, and was not struck by the train. The particles of the body were between the rails, the head being about twenty-five rods west of where the trunk was lying, and one foot and an arm 100 yards west of the head. Both arms and legs were severed, and the trunk was badly crushed. The however, was not as badly mutilated as would have been expected, considering that it was severed from the trunk. The man had a heavy black head of hair, so slightly streaked with gray that the gray hairs were hardly'noticeable excepting by looking closely.

The eyes were light brown. The man was probably about five feet, ten inches tall, and would have weighed 175 or 180 pounds. The pieces of the body were taken to the Brimhall undertaking parlors in State Center, where the head will be kept a few days In the hopes of establishing identification. There was hardly enough of the man's clothing left to give any description of it. A small piece of his shirt showed it to have been blue with a light thread thru it.

Overalls were worn over the lean's trousers. is: TIME8-REPUBUCAN. MABSHAU.TOWN, IffflAi MAX 24, WIANT OHILDREN TO Al D. Veterans of Soldiers' Home Aak THat Children Givs Flowers.

WS 'M: Sound Bell for All Firi Alarms The' big. bell in the court house tower has been restored to thtf city fire alarm system.

Beginning Saturday the custom of ringing, the alarm? the bell was resumed. The determination to resume the old bell alarm system, after it had been discontinued for ten days, waa chiefly because Chief I. T. Kirby found that it places a very serious handicap on the department that could not be overcome except by ringing the bell. Chief Kirby pointed out to Councilman Ed T.

Austin, superintendent of the department, that tho bell was of use to the department to notify flre-k men off duty of alarms, and thus sura- mon them to their places, At times the number of men actually on duty at the stations is scarely more than half tho maximum number by reason of others being at meals, on vacation, or having their day off. Without a publio'alarm it was impossible to get these men off active duty to fires quickly. While Chief Kirby recognizes there are some disadvantages to a public alarm system, he recommended the old custom be resumed until such time as the city was able to increase largely the number of firemen on duty. The first alarm sounded by the bell after It was put in service again was Sunday, when a burner under a roaster In a pop corn wagon at Main street and Second avenue became overheated The only damage done was to break a pane, of glass in the wagon.
