One Man Badly Crushed.
FORTVILLE, Ind., July 23.--This morning an east-bound interurban car met the section crew from this place on a bridge between two curves, at the west edge of town. The crew, numbering eight, jumped from the handcar on which they were riding, except one named Cord Whelchel, who was hurled some distance, breaking one of his legs and crushing the other badly. He was picked up and taken to St. John's Hospital, at Anderson, for treatment. The amputation of both legs was considered necessary. He is twenty-five years old and has a wife and two children.
