ENGINEER BADLY HURT.

Engineer Jones of the milk train, met with a bad accident here Tuesday morning. He start r ed to get off his engine on the north side to oil it, and slipped and fell on an iron switch prong, or prongs used for holding the switch light in place, end one of them penetrated his leg near the groin for several inches. He called for help, it is staged, but no one heard him, owing to the noise of the engine, and the fireman was busy elsewhere. Jones then pulled himself off the prong and staggered around to the south side of the engine, a trail of blood following him. He then fell in a faint and was carried into the depot and doctors su m moned. He bled greatly, but was finally fixed up and taken to the hotel near by and later taken to his home in Lafayette on the 10:55 a. m. train. The wound while a very painful one will probably not result in permanent injury, and he will recover in a few weeks unless bloodpoisoning seta in.
