JOE FOREMAN HURT Joseph FOREMAN son of the late Ulyssus FOREMAN had his leg crushed very badly about the ankle in the Elk Fork coal mine about two-thirty Tuesday afternoon.. Bones are crushed and ligaments cut. He was pushing a small bank car on to the cage at the bottom of the shaft, when another car, which had not been spragged so as to hold it back, came down on him, unawares, and crushed his leg between the two cars. Drs. JAMES and COX arrived quickly at the mine and rendered surgical aid. Dr. JAMES took him to a hospital at Columbus on the evening train in the hope of saving the leg from the necessity of amputation."
