Hand Caught I'm Fodder Cutter,

Special to The Washington Herald.
Lynchburg, Va, Dec. u.-With his left
hand and forearm crushed. and being
slowly but surely drawn into the NAV OF
a many-knived fodder cutter, DR.. Charles
Mccullough calmly brought out pocket
knife. opened it with one hand and pro
ceeded to amputate his arm below the
elbow.
The operation was performed with as
great precision as though he were work
ing on a patient under the influence of
an anesthetic, and when he had com
pletely severed the member, leaving the
hand and part of his arm IN the mouth
Of the cutter, he directed the farm hands.
who were about him, how to proceed to
bind up the severed ends of arteries, so
that he would bleed no more than
necessary. and with the stump held
against his bosom he walked some dis
tance to his home.
Later he was brought TO Lynchburg
and his arm was again amputated, this
time above the elbow, and the physician
farmer was so nerved for the ordeal that
il was unnecessary to place him under
the influence of an anesthetic, and while
the surgeons were removing the end of
the stump mutilated with a pOcket-knife
he directed their movements, and made
suggestions as to how to proceed with
the operation.
