DR.. Harvard Greedy had a narrow escape
from personal injury and severe loss by
fire recently. He was dong some work at
the bench in his dental rooms, when a
bottle containing a quart of denatured
alcohol broke, and the alcohol ignited.
The flame sprang almost to the ceiling,
and some of the flaming alcohol ran down
DR.. Greely's apron, which also caught
fire. He succeeded in putting out the fire,
though his hands were considerably
blistered. He considers himself fortunate
to escape so lightly. The loss from the
fire is slight, and covered by insurance.
George w. Johnson of Otis had his
left hand almost severed yesterday, by
getting it in contact with a saw al the
Salisbury mill in Otis. The saw cut
through the side and back of the hand,
severing bones and tendrons of several
fingers. He was brought to Ellsworth,
where DR.. Hodgkins dressed the wound.
The doctor hopes he may get a good
hand out of it, but there is possibility
that he may lose the middle finger.
