BARNES - CORRESPONDENCE - Altoona, August 19, 1872.  Another accident 
occured to a man named Barnes, at Portage Station, on the 12th inst.  
He was endeavoring to jump on a locomotive, while running, when he 
slipped and fell, the wheels passing over one of his legs, maiming it 
so badly that amputation was found necessary, which was accordingly 
done by the attending physicians, Messrs. Gemmell and Fay, of this 
city.  He lived but a short time.
