Bloody Arm His Signal Flag.
Vernon Wilson, a farm hand, was injured while in the country, near Glenwood, Iowa, in a peculiar way, and, to get a surgeon, flagged a fast passenger train with his bloody arm and hand and came to Glenwood.
Wilson was hurt when he dropped some cartridges from his hand, one falling on a piece of ice and being discharged. The ball passed through his arm, inflicting a bad wound.
