Section Man's Leg Crushed.
"Livingston, Texas, January 17. - After the arrival
of train No. 12 this evening section crew
crew No. 8 started in from the day's work; half a mile north of the
depot the handcar was derailed
by a rock supposed to have been placed on the track by some small negroes,
and the foreman,
George Bennett, had his right leg crushed just above the ankle by the
wheels. The bone is so badly
broken the foot may require amputation, though he insists on saving
it. He was taken to Houston.
It is supposed that the stone was placed on the track by one thoughtless
person to see the car
crush it and not with malicious intent."
