"A Little Bit off the Top

George Maroney lost portion of the
second finger of his right hand at the
canning factory last week Thursday.
He was employed on the cover cutter,
cutting ont caps for covers, when a sheet
of tin stuck in the machine. While at
tempting to remove this he inadvertently
pressed the lever operating the cut ter,
which brought the upper half of the die
down on his hand completely severing
the finger between the first and second
joints. To say the least George was a
much surprised boy at seeing portion
of his finger drop in the receptacle III
stead of a cap cover.
