Bert Evans, while at work in Il. j..
Minnie's meat market last Monday af-
tern0on, cleaning the sausage grinder,
had the misfortune to get his hand
caught in the machine and before he
could extricate il, the end of third fin
ger neary to the first joint was cut or.
Ii seems he had thrown the grinder
out of gear, leaving the engine running;
but while taking out the plates the
gear in some way slipped and started
up the machine catching his hand and
cutting off the finger. II is tough luck
to lose even that much of a finger, ebut
Bert is very thankful indeed that it
wasn't any worse, which il might east
