John Pearson Victim
of a Serious Accident

John Pearson, son of DR.. and Mrs.
Wilson Pearson of 1928 Harrison ave
nue., was the victim OF very serious
accident at the plant of the Arkansas
Valley Railway, Light and Power
company, where he is employed, early
last Saturday morning. About Z
o'clock while operating the conveyor
carrying the coal to the upper part
of the plant, some fifty feet above
the main floor. his coat sleeve was
caught in the elevator In such u way
as TO draw his right arm IN the ma
chinery; ins1icting frightful wounds
before he could release It.
Not until the muscular part of the
upper arm had been badly lacerated
and cut, was he able to extricate
himself from the machinery. which
was threatening his very life. The
fleshy part of the forearm. as well rs
the hand and fingers. were also badly
bruised, but SO far as can be ascer-
tanned. no bones were broken. That
he was not killed is considered re
markable in view of the circum-
stances attending his injury.
Despite the terrific pain he was
suffering, he managed to climb down
a ladder to the main floor of the
building and apprise his associates of
the misfortune that had befallen him.
An automobile was summoned and he
was taken to the Graves hospital
where surgical attention was given
him. He was on the operating table
for an hour and half while the sur
geons stitched up his wounds and
bound the lacerations of the arm to
gether.
Altho still suffering considerable
pan from the effects OF his injury, he
was resting fairly comfortable this
afternoon, altho it is still Impossible
for him to straighten his arm. He has
no temperature and the hospital at
tendants expect him to get all right
unless complications set In. which are
not anticipated. Young Pearson is is
years Of age.
