LAGRANGE MAN HAD FOOT CUT OFF IN ACCIDENT

A sad accident occurred Sunday afternoon about one mile south of town in which 
J.H. Hamlin of LaGrange suffered the loss of his right foot.  He was returning 
to LaGrange on a motorcycle when he attempted to pass a Ford car, in which 
some Roanoke young men were riding in the same direction as the man on the 
motorcycle. The latter was going very fast and in attempting to pass the car 
he bumped into it. The pressure in some way cut the unfortunate man's leg 
almost in two just above the ankle.  He was not aware of how seriously he was 
injured till he ran some piece further down the road when he stopped his 
machine and fell on the roadside. A passing car picked him up and brought him 
to town where the amputation of the limb was completed by surgeons.  Monday 
Mr. Hamlin was taken to his home in LaGrange on the noon train. No blame was 
attached to the young men in the car.
