Hé&t West Detroit, Masten 's hst blew off and he jumped after it, calling on Kennedy to do likewise, which he did, and feil under the train, where the right leg was so injured that it was subsequently amputated at Emergency hospital. Maston was bruised against a pile of railroad ties, but not dangerously hurt. Kennedy's cries brought railroad men, who took him on a stretcher to the freight house and thence by ambulance to the hospital. Maston is now at home, and Kennedy's mother, is with him at the hospital.
