Last Saturday night Joseph RAINS, of Boicourt, who had been in LaCygne all day trading, attemtped to board passenger No. 5 when he slipped under the wheels of the moving train. His left foot was crushed off and it was necessary to amputate it just above the ankle. RAINS was intoxicated and was carrying several bundles in his arms. In his attempt to catch the train his hold slipped some way and he fell under. The suffering man was at one conveyed to the engine house where Dr. R.G. MENDENHALL assisted by Drs. CLARK, VERDIER and DOWNS amputated the foot. He is getting along well and says that his misfortune should be a warning to the boys who are continually jumping moving trains.
