A MosT DISTRESSING AcCIDENT.---A
most distressing accident, says the Carson
Appeal, happened on the 9Th at the Mint,
Mr.. Carl o. Appleberg VERY generally
known as Charley, SwOde, rising fifty,
we should say, employed at the Mint
from tie time Of the laying of the corner
stone Of it to this day-as Waterman
was showing some visitors through the
institution and had got into the room
where the rolling machinery is kept; and
while pointing out the manner of
the working Of the ingot roller
his right hand got caught in
it and was instantly drawn in and
crushed-way up to the wrist. His cries
at once attracted the attention Of the en-
gineer, who stopped the engine,
and reversed the rollers, so that
when his hand came out il
had been rolled both ways, in and out OF
the apparatus, and was mashed to fat
pulp Of bones, and the flesh and integu-
ments all stripped off. There was moth.
ing in reason to do but cut it off and end
the chances of modification, lockjaw and
future dissections and slicings, so DR.
Waters amputated the dreadfully man
gled member at the wrist. Charley il
doing well enough, but is sadly distressed
and mourns the loss of his faithful RICH,
hand; but he has excellent attendance
and need have no fear for the future, fol-
there can never be any Mint management
here or anywhere in the country thai
will fail to keep him on the pay roll
OF course the shock is excrutiating and
intense. Strangely enough, Charley
boards with the widow of Ozro Parker
who lost his life in 1872 by being draw
into some betting at the Mint.
