Thursday, July |, 1880, William
Derby of this place, while working
on some repairs to Grant d Horton g
tannery, received injuries which 1T
! first it was feared would prov e fatal.
A small circular saw was put in tenn
porary in the tannery to dress out
lumber to be used in making the re-
pairs. At this saw Mr.. Derby was
working fitting up 2X4 piece Of lum-
about two feet in length. This piece
flew from the saw and coming back
with terrific force struck him in tho
head knocking him down. The skull
was fractured and the right eye in
Jured severely. The evening of the
accident he was removed to the resi-
dence of his. father Edward Derby on
Main street. .After being confined to
the house for just one week Will could
stand it no longer and not without
great effort walked out and up to the
barber shop for shave. Since then
he has been out more or less every
day, and now it is believed he will
fully recover although the sight of his
eye may be weak for lou~ time, A
terrible scar will always remain as a
reminder of this unfortunate accident.
AT about one o'clock A M. Tuesday,
July 9th, John Fannin, Jr., of this vii
lage was seriously injured on the rail-
road track few rods west of the iron
bridge across Elk creek He was 60
ing home, his home being near the
track and but few rods west of where
the accident occurred, and had set
down on the railroad when he was
startled by the approach of an east
bound freight train. He attempted to
get off the track when he fell face
downward between the rails, and the
engine and upward of thirty freight
cars passed over him, as he lay in the
cinders. The engineer noticed the
man on the track and as soon as possi-
bic stopped the train and went for
help. Mr.. Jackson, proprietor of the
Rldgway House, VIM. Sweet a
boarder there. AL. Brown, and another
man went to the injured mans assis-
tance. Doctors Hartley and Williams
were summoned and dressed the man S
wounds. A severe cut was made
across one eye, while three fingers of
the left hand, which lay on the rail,
were missing. His wife heard the
screams Of her husband, as she sat
watching his coming. At present
he is in r..lr way of recovery, being
strong enough to set up in chair. 1t
is seldom that man goes through the
experience Mr.. Fannin has and lives
to tell the story. We consider this
one of>the most remarkable escapes on
record,
