IRON PRONG IN HIS SKULL.
Peculiar and Probably Fatal Accident

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Dec. 19.-Perry Leese, an
employe in the timing department at the
American Tinplate Company's factory in
this city, is probably fatally injured as the
result of an accident this morning. While
at his work Leese slipped and fell. the back
of his head striking the point of an iron
prong on one of the catching machines. The
point penetrated his skull just behind the
ear and buried itself to a depth of four
inches, almost coming out under the left
eye.
So great was the force Of Leese's fall that
the prong was broken off two inches out
side, and his ellow-workmen had to take
a pair of tongs to pull it out. By some
miracle the brain was not disturbed, but
physicians thinks blood poisoning will
cause the injured mans death.
