she went near the fence to stop them.
But when the team reached the fence
they did not stop. but passed through
it, tearing down the fence and breaking
the barb wire. One of the wires broken
by the momentum of the team, flew
to one side and wrapped around the
left arm of Mrs. Sullivan near the
shoulder, and dragging her some dis
lance in this condition. She was finally
released from the wire but in a mangled
condition The wire had cut the flesh
on the arm and severed the large artery
and bicep muscles completely, leaving
but a very little flesh on the arm above
the elbow. Drs. COnant and Harvey
We're at once summoned to the scene of
the accident, and the best possible sur
