on Train</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Henry Boone, colored, attempted to jump on
train No. 7 yesterday morning at Davy and in some way missed his footing and was
thrown beneath the train which was in motion. His right foot was cut off
at the ankle. The man, who was a miner, was taken to the Miner's Hospital
at Welch. The crowd which is always gathered at that point was terribly
excited when the accident occurred as it was thought that the man who had fallen
beneath the train in full sight of the people was killed.</DIV>

<DIV align=left>[<EM>Probably another accident involving early open vestibule
cars, or narrow vestibule cars, neither of which generally had a gate or
door to prevent someone from boarding or alighting while the car was in
motion, in contrast to later closed vestibule cars which had a vestibule side
door that presumably would be closed by the train crew after giving the engineer
a highball.</EM>]</DIV>
