Hill, in the Tub which is worked by q
windlass, the rope parted and he fell

Cormc & Miller and hopes are enter
tanned that amputation will not be ne
cessary, although the condition of the
patient is still critical 1t is really sur
prising that this kind of accident has
not occurred more frequently than it
it has inasmuch as hundreds of persons
in this vicinity are every day exposed to
