John Koenigs jr., Friday of last
week had the misfortune to meet
with q most distressing accident at
his home five and half miles north
west Of town. He had engaged
Fred Dreher to do some shredding
for him and while Mr. Koenig was in
the act of cleaning out from under
the corn elevator, his hand in some
manner became caught in Che ma
chinery, cutting off the thumb and
fOrefinger of the left hand. The i'm
mediate attention of DR.. Brooks was
had and the injured member given a
thorough cleansing and proper atten-
ton. Mr.. Koenig suffered a great
deal, but Is doing as nicely as could
be expected and should no unfor-
seen complications develop, it is ex-
pected that Mr.. Koenig will recover
from his injury in the course of sew
,eral weeks. This is indeed unfor-
tunate for Mr.. Koenig, coming at this
time of the year, when his help is
mostly needed.
