Amputation Probably Necessary.

Dell Gray, the Remington man who suffered so bad an accident while moving bis family back to town from Fountain Park Monday of last week, is reported by Remington visitors here today to be in a very serious condition, and it is quite probable his right foot will have to be amputated. The bones of the leg were not broken as stated in this paper last week, but a complete dislocation of the apkle joint occurred and the boues were forced thru the flesh. He was rendered semi-conscious and in this deranged condition he got up and started to follow the runaway team and the bones were bruised upon the sharp pieces of fresh rock in in the road. The joint was set but it was not doing satisfactorily and his doctor had this morning about decided on amputation.
