FooT SAWED Orion Friday afternoon OF
last week George Wilhide, an employee ofthe
Taylor Manufacturing Company, of this city,
while engaged in saving timber had his left foot
sawed of. The circular saw mill connected
with the works was in operation and the saw
had just cut through log and the motion Of
the frame upon which the log rested had been
reversed, when young Wilhide, remarking
that he ''would ride back sat down upon
the log. The motion of the frame gave him a
tilt and he threw up his foot, which, coming
in contact with the saw, was severed from a
point near the little toe TO the top of the ankle
on the inside. So rapid was the motion of
the saw that the foot was cut of while poised
in the air and was hurled ten or twelve feet
from the spot. The flesh was very much
lacerated and the bones badly crushed by the
large hooked teeth Of the saw. Several
physicians were Immediately sent for and DIR.
j. Billingslea, arriving first, promptly applied
tourniquet and stopped the hemorrhage /;
when Mr.. Wilhide was removed to his resi-
dence. The physicians after consultation
concluded that amputation was necessary,
and accordingly DIR. j. W. Herring, assisted
by Drs. j. l.. Billingslea, W. X. Fringer and
j. II. Billingslea, skillfully performed the
operation, taking off the limb about four
inches above the ankle. The patient is now
under the care of DIR. W. X. Fringer, and is
doing well. Mr.. Wilhide is married man
and resides on Church Street. A subscription
was Immediately taken up among the en-
ployees OF the Company and the citizens of
this place, and resulted in handsome sum.
