September 9, 1888 Jas. Wright, who was the favored "trusty" of the convict gang stationed here several weeks ago, was discharged on the 5th of last month, his term of imprisonment having elapsed, and on the 21st went to work as brakeman on the Mo. Pac. He had made several successful trips, but on Tuesday he had the misfortune of having his left hand caught by a pin in coupling a car while at Gainesville, completely dismembering the little finger and otherwise bruising his hand considerable. He was transferred to the hospital in Fort Worth where he will be laid up for some time.
