the following account of which appeared
in the Bradford Opinion of November 8.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams are now residents
of Bradford: Mrs. w. S. Williams met
with a peculiar accident last week
Thursday afternoon. She had driven
with Walter Chase up into Goshen to
drive the team back as they intended to
bring some of the stable horses back
from the pasture. She was driving with
one hand and leading a favorite horse
with the other hand. The horse she was
driving started quickly and the one she
was leading stopped at the same time.
In some way the rope was twisted
around the thumb and the wrench I'M
jointed the thumb at the first joint and
cut it off perfectly clean. The bone had
to be cut far enough back to draw the
flesh over it. The wound is healing fast. "
