A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Augusta Mill Man lmpaIed by a Huge
Splinter-WiIl Recover.

j e, Young, an employee of the
Woodward Lumber company of Au-
gusta, met with serious and peculiar
accident. He was operating a heavy
lathe, when long, pointed splinter of
wood was hurled through the air and
penetrated his stomach, impaling him
until friends came to his assistance.
He was taken to the city hospital,
where his condition grew steadily
worse, until an operation was per
formed. The operation was successful
and the young man has a fairly good
chance of recovery.
