 John Gelati, an Italian laborer in Peirce & Freeman's quarry, had his hand lacerated while working on a miss ed hole in the quarry, on Monday. He lit dynamite blast which failed to go der and fired this off, to be sure that there was nothing left in of dangerous nature. He then put in his drill to make the hole little deeper and to get below the grease which was on the sides. He struck the drill once and then the dynamite got in it's work; the drill went skyward and some piece of stone must have struck Gelati in the hand as the cords of the third and little finger were cut and he may loose the use of them. Fortunately for the son of sunny Italy the drill slanted from him when he struck it.-A "misscd | hole" is more to be dreaded than | Fourth of July pistol.
