A Strange Accident

A remarkable accident occurred at
the Vulcan Iron Works, Wilkes
barre, Pennsylvania. A couple OF
workmen were striking a bar OF hot
steel with sledges, when a scale was
thrown off, about as large as three
cent piece, but not thicker than let
ter paper. The scale struck the arm
of one ofthe workmen just below the
elbow, passed through the arm and
came out above the elbow, on the
opposite side. II made frightful
wound. An artery was severed, and
the blood spurted in jets until pres
sure was applied to the artery above
the place ~
