ming a bale of cotton for James Craw-
ford. The ginner threw up the breasts
of the gins and started the press to
pack the bale, Mr.. Crawford went in
front of the gins to take out his seed. ,
after filling the seed basket he leaned
on the seed fork which slipped on the
floor and threw his hand under the
first gin, the saws caught his shirt
sleeve and pulled his right hand in aud
wound it around the saw OFFENDER.
From above the elbow down to his hand
the arm was IL into pieces. A negro
man was standing close by and had
presence of mind to hold down the
breast Of the gin to keep his body from
being pulled up against the saws, n
other man cut the belt and stopped the
gins. Drs. West, Gilkerson and Beason
a%mputated the right arm above elbow
last night. Mr.. Crawford is resting
easy this morning but is quite sick and
has not rallied very much yet.
