He entered the meat shop of D. J.
Redding, and unthoughtedly took
hold of the Rocker Meat Cutter"
and began rocking it. The ma
chine which was on block about
three feet high, weighs about $50
pounds, and has three blades,
which are kept very sharp. While
rocking the cutter, it tipped over,
knocking him to the floor, cutting,
in terrible manner, the stump of
the leg which had been amputated
ON account of wound received at
the battle of Lone Jack, and near

and, contrary to all expectation,
he is getting along well at this
time.
