David l.. Mutt, one of the most pop
ular and we'll known farmers of this
vicinity, was terribly injured by be-
ing caught in the beltng of his gaso-
| line engine. Last Friday Mr.. Mutt
had finished saving wood for Thomas
Neal, near Ferrell, and had shut off
the power, but the large fly wheel
still continued to revolve at a terrific
pace. He stepped to the engine 70
slip the small belt off as he had done
hundreds of times before, when his
coat sleeve caught in the moving belt
and drew his left arm in the wheel,
which whirled him around three times
,, breaking his arm in three places and
cutting terrible cash in his head.
DR.. Ashcraft was summoned by phone
and arrived in increditably short time.
When he saw how bad Mr.. Mutt was
injured, he advised him to go to Coop
er Hospital at once. A kind friend
who was present offered the use OF mis-
auto and Mr.. Mutt, accompanied !
Henry Master, was hurried to the
above institution where the doctors
were uncertain about saving the crush
ed arm. Mr.. Nuts family was also
notified over the phone, and Mrs.
Mutt met Mr. Mutt at EVAN, telling
him she would join him at the hospi-
tai. Franklin Turk took her to Fit
man in his auto, where she was join
ed by her son William; both parties
arrived at the hospital at the same
time.
