An artery in the upper portion of
the thigh of Mr.. G. Mason Lane was
cut on Sunday last, by accident, and
he made a narrow escape from death.
DR.. Sims was called in to aGord sursi-
cal relief, but could not stop the flow
Of blood alone, hence held the .ends of
the artery until another surgeon vas
sent for, when the proper remedies
repaired the damage done. 1t is stated
that at the time of the accident, Mr..
Lane was seated in his private room
at the home of his parents, on Her.
nando road or Mississippi avenue, be-
tween Georgia and Clay streets, and
that he was engaged, with a sharp pen
knife, in scraping off the dry and
rough scab Of a boil, which had given
considerable annoyance and was nearly
well also, that during the exercise
the knife slipped and severed the
artery as mentioned. 1t will be some
