with sad thresher accident last We'd
nesday afternoon. The machine was a
new one, having the day before been
purchased of Mr.. Klossner, and was
that morning set in running order by
Mr.. Chas. Stole. After Mr.. Stole had
taken his departure for home, some
thing about the machine did not run to
suit Mr.. Warnecke and he stepped
from stack to the feeding table with q
view of getting on top Of the machine.
While in the act Of stepping from the
feeding table to the board covering the
top of the cylinder one of his feet
caught in the cylinder, the top
of the foot being badly lacerated.
He dropped over on top of the machine
where he laid until the horses on the
power could be stopped and his foot
liberated. He was at once brought to
this city and placed in the st. Alexan-
der's hospital. On Thursday Dr.. Berry
amputated the unfortunate mans foot
above the ankle and he is now getting
along as well as could be expected.

only about two years and last season
suffered the misfortune of having his
team run away with new self-binder.
