Crushed by the Cars
Elwood Haley, a twelve year old son of Albert Haley of West Conshohocken, in attempting to jump from a coal train was thrown under the wheels and had his right arm crushed near the shoulder.
Haley, with a number of other boys about his own age were playing near Hall's mill. Some one suggested that they all get on an approaching coal train, and this they proceeded to do at the crossing near the mill. Haley got on successfully and after a short ride jumped off, but was thrown from his feet and his right arm was crushed by the wheels of a car.
His frightened companions quickly notified several men who were near and he was taken to the station, where Dr. Tryon, who had been summoned, dressed the injuries. The boy pluckily bore the pain during his removal and while his injuries were being dressed.
He was removed to Charity Hospital, where it was said that his arm would have to be amputated. It is also feared that he is inquired internally, but it is expected that he will recover.
To-day he is doing as well as can be expected.
