half way to the elbow. The machine
became clogged, and here came in the
usual danger III such cases. Mr.. King

mitten, and quickly the hand and
wrist were drawn into the machine.
The mangled arm was bound in the
best manner possible, when the in
jured man was conveyed to Moline in

done, his son bringing him in. Drs.
Beam and Whiteside performed the
amputation after which the unfor-

dairy farm, where the accident oc-
Cured, four miles southeast of the
city.
