LEAPS FROM TRAIN WINDOW

* W. G. Gray, 55 years old, a resident of Pine Village, was seriously injured yesterday shortly before noon, -when he jumped from the window of a coach in Wabash passenger train No. 9, near Riverside. Gray broke the glass in the window next to the seat he occupied and leaped. He was found in a semionscious condition and was brought to this city on passenger train No. 6, and taken to St. Elizabeth hospital, where he was attended by Dr. George“F. Beasley. Gray could give no reason for his act. He has a bad gash in his head and is bruised about the body. He is in a semi-conscious condition most of the time. While the attending physician does not think the injuries are fatal, it will be several days before he will be able to leave the hospital.—Saturday’s Lafayette Journal.
