Newbern Daily Progress July 6, 1860
Distressing Accident

Last Monday morning, the freight train going South which left here about day 
break ran over a man at Everittsville, crushing both feet in a shocking manner 
and leaving only the large toe on each foot.

The name of the unfortunate man is Wm. Farrell. He went down that morning on the 
passenger train, it is supposed, as far as Dudley, got off there and is supposed 
to have been making his way back, but lying down on the track, fell asleep and 
the appalling injury to his mangled limbs is the deplorable consequence. He was 
brought up to town last night, placed under the care of Dr. Wm. H. Finlayson who 
called to his assistance Drs. Moore Davis and Craton but the unfortunate sufferer 
was too weak to undergo any operation - up to the time of this writing. He will 
inevitably lose both feet nor does there exist scarcely a hope that his life can 
be saved.

We need scarcely add the afflicted sufferer is said to have been deeply under the 
influence of liquor when he left here. Rough Notes.
