HE WAS NEARLY IMPALED.
Joseph Safer Received Dangerous Gut
on Sunday.
Chased Cat and Fell Upon Broken
Lantern Globe.

if not fatal, TO Joseph Safer, better
known in New Ulm as 'Milch Sepp."
1t says:
Joseph Safer, the milkman, met with
an accident at noon, yesterday, which
came near costing his life.
He had brought three pals of the days
milking into the kitchen and placed
them on the table. No sooner had he
sat them down than the family cat, over
anxious on account of a delayed meal,
climbed over the rim and began drink
ing the milk. This angered Mr.. Salfer,
and he chased the animal out of the
house, threw broom at it and it ran un-
der the granary. Mr.. Safer followed
and although there was plenty of room
beneath, the cat gave its pursuer plenty
of opportunity for lodging about. Sud-
denly the m1lkman, who was on all fours,
made lunge forward to secure the ami
NAL, when he fell upon the sharp point
ed piece of broken lantern globe. It
entered the left side just below the ribs
and base of the stomach, causing large
wound which penetrated the abdominal
wall, injuring the spleen on its way. He
was able to get to the house, but that was
all, the blood flowing profusely from the
wound before medical attendance could
be summoned.
Drs. Hlelscher and Andrews we're mott
fed and within a few moments the
wound was being dressed. TWAS found
necessary to enlarge the cut decidedly to
be certain that neither the stomach nor
the intestines were punctured. The
wound was cleaned antiseptically and
the perltoneum brought together by
stitching with cat jute. Then the out
side wound was closed and stitched. Mr..
Safer did not lose consciousness either
from pain OF the loss of blood but an
annsthetic was administered during the
operation.
The physicians state that the patient
is in imminent danger from inflammation
of the bowels, or sceptic poison, and it
will he some days before the outcome
can be determined with any degree of
accuracy, although these wounds are
not of the dangerous character that they
we're few years ago.

The fortieth anniversary ofthe settling
of the Chicago colony in this vicinity
was celebrated at Hermann's Heights
Sunday afternoon. A large crowd of
people gathered there and the Concordia
Band furnished excellent music. Speeches
were made by Hy. Meyerding and Julius
Berndt, but the principal address was
made by F. Beinhorn, who was the orr
ginator of the idea of emigrating west.
He renewed all of the early history and
related many incidents that were famili-
ar to the earlier settlers. The picnic on
the whole was pleasant affair, and one
that was particularly enjoyed by the old
veterans present.
