Tlie Uarrisburg Patriot of last
Friday morning contained the follow
ing. The warning applies to all lo
calities where the dangerous habit is
practiced of jumping on the cars while
in motion:
Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock
James Dougherty aged about fourteen
years, with several companions at
tempted to board some moving freight
cars near the Pennsylvania railroad
crossing at Second street. Dougherty
lost his footing and fell witli his legs
under the cars and both the limbs
were badly crushed by the passing
wheels. He was taken to the hos
pital and hitter in the day one of his
legs was amputated by the hospital
surgeon between the knee and hip.
The other leg will have to be amputat
ed between the knee and ankle, but
up to u lute hour last night, lie was to
weak to undergo t lie operation, al
though he begged to have it performed.
Rut little hopes ure entertained of bis
recovery. He resided with his parents
corner of Second street ami Meadow
Lane. This is another terrible warn
ing to boys. Some steps ought to be
taken to 'prevent litis dangerous prac
piee of jumping on moving trains. If
every offender caught was arrested
and committed to the lockup, it might
have a good effect.
