While in the Discharge of His Duties | > Connected With the Logging Department of the Conway Lumber Company, George Cannon is the Victim of an Accident Which May Terminate Fatally. Drs Burroughs and Dusenbury Render All Assistance Within Their Power to Relieve the Sufferings of the Young Man.

Pee Dee section, and quite a young man. He was employed by the Conway Lumber Co , in place of another young man, who had rotrgned the position, or who was temporarily away at the time It is reported that i ha engine had gone up into the eouutry and on to a side track or tram road, for ih^ purpose of loading logging cars with logs, and .young Cannon was riding on the locomotive toward the frontend, for the purpose of attending to various duties connected with the handling of the engine and ears. For some reason, which is not stated the locomotive jumped the track without warning. Young Cannon was knocked oil and his leg was f caught underneath the wheels of the locomotive or tender, and tor ribly mangled before engineer Kicks couid stop the train. As xhe engine stopped it pinned ihe injured man down with the limb under the wheels. The engineer with almost superhuman strength managed to raise the machinery up so that Cannon could be released irom it. The injured man was hastily brought down to Conway where he received medical attention from Doctors Dusenbury and Burroughs, the mangled leg beiQg amputated. The young man stood the operation remarkably well, and at last accounts he was expected to recover. Members of the man's family and relatives were summoned from their home in the Pee Doe section, and > he was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs Jim Bran ton, in the Gully neighborhood. Dawsey Bros.
