John Scott sustained painful if
not serious sn]uries last Thursday
while engaged in operating circle

of Lancaster. A large piece Of wood
flew from the saw striking him in the
face, just below the eye. The cheek
bone was badly bruised, number Of
teeth shattered and the eye narrowly
escaped dangerous injury by tie aw-

wounds are healing and his recovery
