Chronic Hobo's Foot Cut Off

Roy Wilson, age 14, son of Mr and Mrs Wm. Wilson of Wallins, had his foot cut off Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock while trying to catch a freight train at Tremont, a station below Wallins. Several who saw the attempt to catch the moving train say that the lad missed the step of the car he was trying to catch and that he was thrown underneath the car. The wheels of the gondola crushed his left foot off. <cut>

People who knew the boy say that he is a chronic hobo and that he had ridden a northbound train to Tremont and had started back to Wallins on a southbound train when the accident occurred. This method of free rides back and forth between different stations near there, they say, is practiced by several youths of Wallins.

The latest report from the hospital is that the boys condition is not serious and that a fast improvement is expected unless complications alter the course of nature.
