"SERIOUS ACCIDENT. - About one o'clock on Friday morning a man named Theodore Ainsworth, while attempting to get on a morning freight train at the Fourth street crossing, was thrown under the wheels of the car, and right leg and great toe of his left foot crushed. The unfortunate man lives in Logan township, on the east side of the lower shops, and it is supposed he was trying to ride to his home. He was an employee in the lower P. R. R. lumber yard. He was attended by the company's physicians, the right leg being amputated at the knee joint, and the toe of his left foot splintered."
