oiling machinery On the second story, his short
working shirt was caught by upright shaft, when

Mr.. Sallady passed the shaft the flap of his shirt
caught and commenced drawing his body towards
It. In an instant he tore of the flap, but while
doing so his left sleeve caught aud winding around
the shaft booke his arm at the wrist. The unfor
,unaie man then made desperate effort to tear
himself away from the shalt which threatened to
crush his body. Bracing his feet against an iron
bolt by desperate effort wrenched his left
off at the wrist, tearing and breaking muscles aud
flesh at the weak points, extending for several
inches above the wrist joint. Mr.. Sallady then
halloed to the hands below who stopped the mill
and went to his assistance. The dismembered
hand, wound up in the tattered shirt, was taken
from the shaft. Drs Gray and wilkins were cal
led at once. aud Mr.. Salady was removed to his
residence on Fourth street, between E and f. Dir.
Harrington, his family physician afterwards
called in and amputaton of the limb above tie
elbow performed. The unfortunate man has a wi
and three children depending upon his daily wages.
This case appeals to the sympathes of all in the
