Manuel, Limb Amputated

Written by

Mr. William Manuel while standing on the railroad track of the Valley branch in this place on Wednesday evening, was struck by a moving freight and dragged some distance and had his leg crushed.– Drs. Ranson and Kable amputated the injured limb above the knee. The unfortunate man is doing as well as could be expected. This is a peculiarly sad accident. Mr. Manuel some months ago had this same leg broken in the Pulp Mill and has not entirely recovered from the injury. He is a poor man with a dependent famil and elicits the sympathy of the community in his misfortune. — Harper’s Ferry Sentinel.
