aged mules for sale. Serious Accident Charles James Loses the End of a Finger and the Ball of a Thumb. As Charles James,
one of the skilled mechanics in the employ of Forbes & Bros., at their
planing mill, was engaged Thursday morning in running the "frizzing"
machine, frizzing some sash for a new church to be erected at Franklin,
Ky., one heavy end of the timber tilted up and caught his left hand and
drew it under the knife, which was five inches long, and cut off the middle
finger at the first joint, and the ball of the thumb. His wounds were
dressed by Dr. Wilkins, and he is liable to have to quit work for sometime. |
| A Heavy Fall
Dave O'Bannon was speeding his horse on Main street, Tuesday afternoon, below the railroad. The animal stumbled and fell, but Dave kept on over his head for a distance of 20 or 30 feet before he struck the ground. He hit it so hard when he did strike, however, that those who witnessed his fall thought it was all up with him. He was stunned for a few moments, but soon recovered and was assisted on his way home, a sadder and a soberer man. Had His Arm Cut Off Drs. Wright & McCormack, went to Mt. Aerial, Allen county, Tuesday, and amputated the right arm of old Mr. Dixon, father of Rev. Mr. Dixon, who has been suffering for seventeen years with caries of the bone of the fore-arm, which made it necessary that it should be taken oft near the shoulder. Their patient is 72 years old, but it is said he bore the operation well for one of his age and physical condition. Death of Mrs. Hogard The wife of the Rev.
John P. Hogard, pastor of the Richardsville chapel, M.E. Church South,
died at the parsonage, at Richardsville Wednesday, of pulmonany consumption. |
