LOSES BOTH LEGS

Colored Man Fell From Train on Which He Was Stealing a Ride

    Andrew Ross, colored, of Petersburg, was brought to this city this morning from Ada, shortly after 1:30, and carried to an hospital.  Both his legs were severed above the knee as a result of falling from a freight train on which he was stealing a ride.  In spite of the painful injuries the man was conscious when he arrived in this city.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
------
Failed to Catch One Train and Stepped in Front of Another

    An unknown man, believed to be a Hungarian, was killed yesterday at Powhatan when he failed to catch a east bound freight and stepped directly in front of a west bound freight.  Nothing was found in his clothes which would led to his identity.  The man was evidentially a miner.
