Jas. Hine met with a peculiar &C
cident last Thursday which came
very near resulting fatally. He
works in the Metz lumber yard, and
while handling lumber,a small sharp
piece Of pine penetrated and lodged
under the muscle of his arm. DR..
Gilbert made an examination and
found that the piece of wood had
lodged very close to a large blood
vessel and had torn the tendons of
the arm very badly. He advised Mr..
Hine to go to a hospital to have
the large splinter removed, and he
went to Anthony on Thursday, ac-
companied by Paul Fair. DR.. Up
degraff assisted by another An
thony physician, removed the piece
of wood but it was a most delicate
operation. 1t was necessary to split
the muscle of the arm, and the
splinter, being practically on the
blood vessel, it was a big risk to re-
move it as there was great danger
of bursting. Mr.. Hine is getting
along very satisfactorily since the
operation. He and Mr.. Fair return
ed home on Friday.
