| Accident |
| As the train from Petersburg
entered the depot, yesterday afternoon, a soldier attempted to cross
the track ahead of it, when his foot slipped into the space between
the rail and the platform, and partially threw him down. Before he
could recover, the train came up, and the cow-catcher of the
locomotive struck his leg, and divested it of a considerable portion
of the flesh, without, however, injuring the bone. He was taken to the
Bird Island Hospital. |
