Prom Friday's Dally:
Ji sevm-p but not necessarily fatal
accident befell Captain Bill Ellis this
morning on tho Toxas& Pacific main
track less than thirty feet east of
tho southeast corner of the baggage
.room. Captain Ellis was knocked down
toy Tolas' & Pacific eastbound freight
.No. 292 extra section and pushed from
the track by the cow. catcher on tho lo-
comotive. Wh right foot was mashed
off at the .first Joint necessitating .am-
putation half way between tho anklo
and k.nee. His npse was bruised while
external injurios of minor concern
were sustained about the face' and
bead.
At Half Past Elovcn.
The accldeut transpired at half past
eleven o'clock. Captain Ellis was
standing just away from several bag-
gage men viewjrtg a westbound freight
pulling upon the siding. Ho was stand
lug on the track facing east.theroforo
did not hear the approach of tho cast-
bound train.
Bystanders state that No. 2!)2 stop-
ped some fifty feet from the scene of
tha Injury then 'slowly started up.
When the engine struck Captain Ellis
it was proceeding at a low rate of
speed probably between two and five
miles ah hour. The engineer claims he
rang his bell and blew his whistle. In
any event the noise made by tho west-
bound train prevented Captain Ellis
from hearing any sort of warning and
removing himself to a place of safe-
ty. '
Struck by Cowcatcher.
As the cow catcher struck him he
fell almost headlong and by some mir-
aculous stroke of Providence was push
ed away from the track. Only his right
leg was caught. This as stated was
terribly mashed being almost entirely
severed from the limb. Blood flowed
freely from the wound and later by-
standers picked up fragments of flesh.
r t Captain Ellis fell on nis race striK-
I ing the ground with groat force. Blood
'i V i. tmm hlo nntm Ttaeerncramaster
-Caperton and other spectators rushed
to his Bide picked him up and carried
him into the baggage room. He was
partially dazeTl and did not 'say a
"word.
Physicians Called.
Doctor Andrew J. Pope acting as
railroad surgeon was first called and
later a call was made for Doctors J. M.
Alexander and J. M. Estes. When the
physicians arrived they found tho pa-
tient conscious fully cognizant of his
-condition in extreme pain but uncom-
plaining. Captain Ellis talked freely
of bis mlsfortuno related the clrcum
stances Just as they occurred "and an-
swered a number of queries put at him
by tho doctors. He had no complaint f
to make. His courageous demeanor
in th efaco of such an overwhelming
mltinatlon of misfortune and agony
elicited admiration from even his pro-i
i - tonal attendants.
At twelve o'clock tho ambulance
-from the Alexander sanitarium arrived
on tho sceno and through a groat
nowd of curious sympathetic people
Cnptaln Ellis silently observant was
borne. He was driven directly to tho
sanitarium where it was Btatod tho
amuutatlon would immediately bo
made.
Doctor Pope while stating that tho
injury is serious is confident tho pa-
tient will recover. Tho bruises about
tho nose faco and head he said will
not cause trouble Captain Ellis how
ever has before tilm a long siege In
tho sanitarium.
EHglneer Is Interviewed.
The engineer on No. 292 is H. Dean
the fireman H N Walker. Tho for-
mer gavo. out the following Interview
which ho Iblomnly avers to bo the
trata:
' iljo 1 det!lY deplore this unfor-
tunate occurrence I cannot feel con
aclously that I am to blamo or that any
act of mino could havo averted this ac-
cident. In this I am sura I will be
corroborated by bystanders. I saw tho
gentleman on tho track just as I see
other men4 constantly Btanding about.
Tho fact that wo were driving our en-
gine no faster than two miles an hour
and that we opened our whlstlo topre-
vent a poBfllble acpident allayed what
alarm I might have fplt under other
circumstance. The Instant wo struck

MERKEU March 10. "Tho City in
Clover wants nn electric light plant!"
The above was tho expression of the
city council at their regular mooting
yesterday afterhoon. Tho frarichise
granted to Burt T. Jarvls and associ-
ates waB revoked yesterday afterrioon
and a similar ordinance ordored pre-
pared cancelling the privileges granted
to tho Merkel Light & Power Company
for tho latter havo vacated tho prem-
ises and both failed to comply with
their agreements.
It was the senso of tho council to be
absolutely fair but in the faco of tho
fact that Mr. Jarvis agreed to have the
material for the construction of tho
plant on tho ground within thirty days
his failure to comply with this dr moke
any statement to tho council led them
to believe that ho had laid down on the
proposition. Since tho granting of
this franchise several applications
havo been made to tho council for the
same privileges by men known to bo
financially able and willing to build
a first-class lighting system and this
prompted them to take the action.
Clenn-Up Campaign.
Another matter which received
lengthy consideration by our alder-
men was for tlm improvement of Ban-

the council to enforce every sanitary
regulation in their book of ordinances
and the proper ofllcDi'B were instructed
to discharge their duties without fear
or favor. Tho city Is to give all fair
warning and will spend a neat little
appropriation In a clean-up campaign
to begin March 2lst and then tho city
must stay clean.
