Accidents.


Jack Duffield is the latest victim of
the buzz saw fend. He was attempting
to split short board at the scale works
one day last week, and laying the back
of his left hand upon the end of the
board to steady it, the saw became
bound, and jerked the board back,
bringing his hand directly on the saw,
cutting off the fore finger and mangling
one or two more fingers badly.
At the fire at No. 3 hose house last
week, some one stood a hook lad
der up against the building, hook down,
and Henry NJ. Aver, of the firm of Sew
erance & Aver, stepped upon the hook,
forcing it through his rubber boot and
deep into the flesh. At the same time,
he fell over, and the hook tore out the
flesh, making bad wound. The injury
is healing well, and Mr.. Aver is more
comfortable than might be expected.
