being operated, Harvey Whit
comb met with a distressing ac-
cident which will cost him his
life probably. In some accident
al way he fell onto the saw which
fortunately was running at such
slow speed that his clothes and
body stopped it. but not before it
had plowed a great cash half
through his body, cutting one
lung, the spleen and liver, be-
sides exposing and tearing out
entrails, which altno torn from
his body did not become punctur
ed themselves and this fact is in
his favor, in recovering. When
his co-workers saw his plight,
the engine was stopped and the
saw hacked away from his
PROSTATE body and the unfortu-
nate man removed to his home.
DR.. Fox of Crayne was hastily
summuned and he called in con-
sultation Drs. Driskill of this
city and Bunton and Spickard Of
Fredonia and everything human
skill could suggest was done for
tee sufferer.
He is resting easy as we go to
