While the II year old son of Isaac
Burgess, living near Hustisford was cut
ting grain Wednesday, the sprocket
wheel Of the binder became entangled,
and in attempting to free the wheel,
while the machine was in motion the
young mans left thumb was caught in
the chain and torn from his hand.
w. G. North, of Fox Lake candi-
date for district attorney of Dodge
County, subject to the action of the
democratic County Convention, was in
WatertOwn Thursday, and among other
friends, we came in for a friendly call.
We are always pleased to see Old-time
and all-the-time friends. Mr.. North
seems to feel confident that he will land
the nomination, and nomination on
the democratic ticket in Dodge County
is very apt to result in an election.
Mr.. j. M. G0rney, the contractor and
builder, is having a busy season. Be-
side doing the mason work for the large
extentiOn and improvement of the
Woodard-Stone plant, Mr.. Gorney has
under his charge other new work and
repairs. He recently was obliged to
refuse large $1,000 job rendered him
from out of town, his home contracts,
taken and contemplated, being sufficient
to fill in all his time during the season.
One good job secures another, seems to
have been Mr.. GOrney's working motto.
Last Wednesday as Otto Breitzmann,
a farmer living some six or seven miles
from our city was cutting oats with a
machine, his little son. a child some
four or five years Of age, came out to
watch his father work. A little time
after while cutting near the place where
the little fellow had been Mr.. Breitz-
mann ran upon the the boy lying in the
grain and before the team could be
stopped the machine had caught the
sleeping child and nearly severd it's left
arm. The child was taken up and i'm
mediately brought to Watertown and
carried into the office of DR.. F. E. Wer-
ner who called in DR.. Whyte. On max
ing an examination the doctors found
that although the bone and nearly all
of the flesh of the arm had been
severed-the bone being badly splint-
cred both above the and below the
cut-still the main artery had not been
cut. Cutting off the fractured portions
of the bone SO as to make a smooth
union, and putting in some sixty stitch
es to close the wound, the doctors placed
the arm in its natural position, carefully
dressed it with proper splints and antise-
ptic dressing, and the child was taken
home in far more comfortable condi-
ton than could be reasonably be expect
ed considering the serious injury Some
years ago, in case very similar, in
whicha young girls foot was nearl y
cut off by a reaper, through the immedi
ate and skillful treatment Of DR.. Werner,
the foot was saved and the party, now
young lady, walks upon the once nearly
amputated member.
