Nicola, Feb. 7.-Ben Jungferman was
the victim of peculiar and very
painful accident at the local Rock
Island station which nearly cost him
a finger, having been hung to the wall
on nail by ring he wore. His en-.
tire weight was suspended for a mo.
ment, the ring holding together though
bending tight around the finger and
stripping the flesh loose from the I'M
der side, almost to the end.
He had gone into the freight room
of the station building for something
which was located above his head.
This he secured and was getting back
to the floor, stepping on a pile of auto
tires. This pile of tires toppled over
and to save himself from falling he
reached toward the wall where his
ring caught over a protruding nail.
Both nail and ring held while Ben
hung suspended until he could secure
a footing and release himself.
In the fall the ring cut into. and I'M
der the flesh, stripping it from the
bone as stated, almost to the end of
the finger. DR.. Bates was called to
dress the wound and found the metal
band of the ring so tightly bent about
the finger. bone that it was necessary
to bend it and cut it free before 1t
could be removed from the wound, all
of which was a very painful ordeal.
Barney as he is Familiarity known.
will not lose the finger but will suffer
quite bit of pain during the healing
process.
