SEVERE AcCIDENT.-One day last week
young man named Houtman. whilst
supcrinten ding steam-thrasher, met
with a severe, if not fatal, accident. He
was engaged in threshing out the crop on
the Kitchen place. several miles from
town, when the betting of the machine
becoming disarranged, Mr.. Houtman
attempted to adjust Improperly. His arm
was caught in one oft the straps and in a
moment broken in three places, the shock
almost forcing the arm from Its socket.
DR.. Love was Immediately called 10, and
the young man is considered to be in a
very critical situation. This should be a
warning to all persons employed about
steam machines. It has been but several
weeks since we chronicled an acc ident of
similar character that happened to
Mr.. Burkhardt at the Bowles place. Mr..
B.. We are glad to see, is once more out.
