Mr. George Heath Of this city, met with a
sad accident on Saturday afternoon, which
will disable him for several months. He with
others was engaged in unloading lumber from
a dray, to be used in the construction of
Aliens publishing house. A large stick OF
timber which was poised for the moment on
one of the wheels of the dray previous to
throwing it to the pile, slipped, and struck
Heath on the left leg just below the thigh,
tearing off the flesh, and breaking his leg
about midway between the ankle and knee.
Both bones were crushed in horrible man
ner; seemingly ground to powder. DR..
Brickett, who attends the injured man, says
that the case is severe one. Heath says
that he noticed the timber was canting, and
jumped just in time to save his body from
being crushed, but not in season to prevent
the serious accident that followed.
