Remington Drayman Meets With Very Bad Accident.

James Lucas, a Remington drayman, met with a terribly bad accident Tuesday forenoon at the Remington cemetery. Lucas had hauled .out a heavy monument base for a ‘Logansport firm of tombstone dealers, and it was unloaded from the dray onto skids. In some manner the skrds slipped after the heavy stone was unloaded and one of them struck Lucas in such a way as to break both his legs below the knee. One "of the legs was badly crushed and it was feared the member would have to. be amputated, Mr. Lucas has a wife and several chiK dren, and the injury is bound to lay him up for most of the summer at least.
