GENERAL ANO STATE NEWS

Telegraphic Reports from Many Parts of the Country SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant and Nearby Cities and Towns—Matters of Minor Mention from Many Places. MONON MAN MANGLED. D. L. Ryan, employed by the Monon railroad as a switchman in the yards at Monon, met with a terrible accident at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning. He attempted to board the front end of the yard engine and missed the step, falling in front of the moving locomotive. The engine passed over him and both limbs were crushed in a frightful manner. It was necessary to amputate the right foot at the ankle and the left just below the knee. The unfortunate man is 35 years old and is married.
