TORN FROM THE SHOULDER
Howard Giffin Has an Arm Torn
Out by the Roots Last
Tuesday.
A Threshing Machine Belt Strikes
and Breaks the Arm in
TWO Places.

A most horrible accident occurred
on farm near T. j. Sloan's in Sheri-
dan township, last Monday afternoon,
at which time and place Howard Gif-
fin, well-known in this county, had an
arm literally torn out by the roots
and the flesh torn from his breast and
back in most excruciating manner
in threshing machine accident.
It was between four and five o'clock.
The Kotvol threshing machine oper-
ated by residents of Vesta, was just
finishing up job of threshing on the
farm in question. Howard Gifin with
another party had been engaged in
feeding the machine all day. The en-
CINE had not yet ceased pulling the
threshing machine around in its work
of threshing. Howard placed his
hand in the babbiting box with the
view of ascertaining as to whether the
box was hot. At that particular junct-
ure some one grabbed hold of the belt
connecting the engine with the ma
chine and pulled it off from the en-
CINE. 1t weighed 200 pounds and
necessarily had more or less force in
following the wheel Of the engine
around The belt with it's full force
struck Giffin on the arm and broke it
between the wrist and elbow, and
again near the shoulder, tearing it
out completely with the break and
pulling the flesh from the breast and
shoulder withit.
The spectators of the horrible scene
stood back aghast and were dumb fo1
several moments. The victim fel
back on to the straw and then rusl
was made for him. His co-laborer.
then first learned the real truth. Ev
cry attention was paid to the victim
until he was taken to Echo where h
was placed under charge Of DR.. Gill
who at once sent for DR.. Finn of thi
city. The physicians pronounced it
clean case of disarticulation and CAV
such relief as in their power. Howard
was living on Tuesday afternoon bu
there we're strong doubts as to his re
covery.
In an interview Tuesday Afternoon
DR.. Finn stated that had the bel
struck Giffin on the head it woult
have killed him instantly.
No one knows just who pulled tn
belt from the engine and everybod,
at work with the crew is careful t
make any statement in connection
with the accident.
