Serious Accident.

Hon. E. L. Sluser of Mancelona, one
of the heavy stockholders in the Owos-
80 Carriage and Sleigh Co.. in this city,
lost his left hand Saturday evening as
the result of an accident on a railway
train. Press dispatches state that Gin
losing it he displayed degree of cour-
age and nerve that is rare indeed.
The accident occurred on South
Shore train at Trout Lake Junction,
about 30 miles above st. Ignace. In
the starting of the train Sluser had his
left hand caught in the vestibule and
smashed 80 that there was no chance of
saving it. But he didn't collapse. In
stead, he rode on to st. Ignace, where
he found doctor, who amputated the
hand above the wrist.
The following morning Sluser was up
bright and early, determined to catch
the morning train from Mackinaw City
to Mancelona. While crossing the
straits he was with other passengers
strolling around on the upper deck,
smoking a cigar and talking cheerfully,
and neither acting nor looking even a
little bit like man who had his
hand cut off less than twelve hours
before. Noticing small spider on the
collar of another passenger he stepped
up and flicked it off with finger.
Mr. Sluser was for many years one
of the best known and most highly
esteemed newspaper men in the state
and completed an eight year term as
probate judge of Antrim county the
first of this year. His friends through
out the state greatly regret his misfor-
tune.
