met with serious accident while

ger of the left hand was caught and
the entire hand drawn in between the
cogs. Three of the fingers and the
hand and wrist were badly crushed
and mutilated. Drs. Campbell and
Stockton who were call in attendance
thought for a time that the thumb and
index finger might be saved, but the
bones were found to be so badly
crushed that it was deemed advisable
to amputate the hand at the wrist joint.
