was 011 the caboose, was cntishl lie

Ills ler was pinioned and to release
lilm I he trainmen had to chop the iron

It was a Iryiiiff situation. Tliuniili

or be roasted by the names which were

effects of the caboose, were nerved to
frantic desperation to remove him from
the double fate that threatened him.
The aNcs, swims' by arms that were
never more determined, made chips of
the timbers that pinioned Humphreys.
After a nerve-racklngr PlrtiRKlc, the
poor brakeman, who was silt himself,
was released. Ho was carried up to
the railroad on the embankment above,
while a hurried call was sent for a
physician and an ambulance, In the
meantime those about Humphrey tied
about his left tlilsli. the crushed mem

nf stout twine, to cease the How of
blood, which was so rapid as to 1111

A half hour after tlio accident the

was taken to Minei'sency hospital, un
der the care of Dr. Harper, where the
crushed Ick was amputated, above the
ankle.
Fire Alarm Turned in.
Humphrey's rescuers divided their
fl'forts between releasiiiK' lilm und

Into small compartments for the 11c

A Remarkable Happening.

CHARLES HULL'S
CONDITION
The Victim of Sunday's File Burned
Worse Than Supposed at First.
Fears for His Eyesight.
The burns received by Klreinai'
Charles Hull, the victim of Sinula's
fire, arc worse than supposed when he
was taken to IDr. Wheeler's hospital
after being; rescued from the Haines.
Ills head and face are terribly swollen
and the inlhmunntlon gives rise 10 pain
and, at times, agony.
Hull's life is nowise In danger. From
Hie beginning', there was little, If any,
apprehension as lo Ids ultimate re
covery, but fears as lo his eyesight are
giving- the physicians some concern. So
far the indications ate not unfavor
able, but the nature of his Injuries is
such as to he likely to give rise to
complications. None of these compli
cations are present, as yet, and all
that skill and attention of the con
stant, kind and careful nursing are
being (10110 to ward Iheni olf. The
physicians are discreetly conservative
in the bulletin's they issue if llull'
condition. They do not wain lo be
sanguine of the result when ihe dan
ger period has not passed, neither do
they care to unnecessarily alirm his
friends, while there Is an element of
hope present.
The principal thing now Is to arrest
and allay the serious liillammntiou
thai, surrounds the face mid forehead,
and every mens to this end is being
heroically em ployed.
There is widespread sympathy for
Hull, who bears the reputation of be
ing the most fearless, courageous and
daring lire lighter in the city. The
spirit of fear Is unknown when face to
face with a situation of danger al .1
lire. This be has demonstrated again
and again. Only a few weeks ago, his
timely efforts and bis brother's, at the
lteynolds drug store lire, undoubtedly
saved lhat whole block from deslnu -lion.

TOWN TOPICS.
The advent of the cold und chilly
weather him brought with It tlio usual
physical complaints that nru unsocial
od with chuiiRcH of the weather.
Conspicuous among these In the com
plaint popularly known as the mumps,
and moat common uiiiuiir children.
This Is ipilto prevalent iimonp the
yoiitiR ones attending school, und In
several buildings It has played huvoc
wllh 1 ho atleiiilance. Classes have
been disturbed, as might bo expected,
and the teachers were discouraged
somewhat when they glanced over their
reports und observed what the ullcnd
unce columns showed, or course, the
teachers cannot control tho course of
human events to the extent thai they
could banish tlio mumps, or other all
mi'iil from iiiiioiir their pupils, but even
so, they regret being compelled to send
In 11 poor mark In the "overuse at
tendance" column. Chief union:: the
curnest teachers' pride Is to present a
report whole the attendance shown .1
high murk. Hut many will be denied,
this much this month, for the bothcr-
Church at Carbondale.
some mumps have kept many children
at home, some for several days. A not
able example was at No. S school,
where hi one room there were seven
teen pupils ot one time wiio were af
llieted, most of them being away from
their lessons.
This is an Instance where patience is
a virtue, and when the real cold weath
er sets in, without freriiient changes,
the mumps, the doctors say, will have
no terrors for either the pupils or their
long-suffering teachers.
The sad experience of Sunday, when
the beautiful home of the Methodists
was destroyed by lire, demonstrated
that Carbondulo has a volunteer fire
department of which sin; has abundant
reason lo bo proud, but what was dem
onstrated more clearly and strongly
was the fact that tlio department is
sorely handicapped in battling with
Ihvs by the lack of appliances.
There is a sore lack of the up-to-date
means to coiuiuer lire, and if Carbon
dale firemen would cope with disasters
like that of Sunday, and if the com
munity would have the protection that
Sunday's deplorable happening shows,
It stands in need of the necessary ap
pliances, which should be supplied.
Chief anuiiig' these is bidders thai will
enable Hrenien to mount to vantage
points where they could direct streams
with Intelligence on the devouring
Haines.
Years ago, when there were but few
buildings above two stories, the neces
sity did not exist in ihls city for hook
and ladder tiitcks and the like' but
today conditions are vastly different.
The number of three-story buildings lu
the town and the lotly church struc
tures make it 11 stern necessity to erpilp
the fire companies with appliances
that have been proven the most ef
fective, parileul.iiiy the ladder arrange
ments. There cannot be found a volunteer
department that responds more read
ily or uuickly than Carbundule's, hut
this Is of small advantage when the
men arrive at the scene of the fire and
have but meagre means lo fight the
Humes that are so destructive under
any circumstances. The philosophy
that the best Is none too :sood Minis a
must lilting application In an emer
gency of this gravity and Ihere is Utile
doubt thai councils, with whom the
mailer rests, will feel the motives that
should come to them when it Is 11 ipies
t Ion of prefervlng the life and prop
eiiy of the community.
The business men of Ihe illy have a
big Interest hi the mailer, and their
feeling and altitude will he discussed
lu this column in a few days.
