LOST HIS HAND.
Shocking Accident to John Letter or
Grand Island,

The Rio Vista News" states that
John Letter, a well-known and popular
young man Of that place, met with a
very serious accident while aboard the
Grand Island dredger on Tuesday
morning last.
Mr.. Leffier was in the act of putting
some ashes on a friction wheel near the
base of the boom when the machinery
was started. His right hand was drawn
in between the cog wheels and it was
frlghtfully mangiled. One of the wheels
struck him on the head and he had a
very miraculous escape from death, for
had his head been slightly nearer the
wheel it also would have been crushed
between the wheels.
The unfortunate man was taken to
Rio Vista and it was found necessary
ID amputate his hand at the wrist.
