ARM d CRUSHED

Starwkeather, Feb. 14.-P. c.
Gering, prominent and well known
farmer north of town, was the VIC
tim of an accident Friday night which
came very near costing him an arm.
He fortunately escaped, however, with
an injury which will keep him on
the disabled list for several weeks
but unless unforeseen complications
arise he will suffer no permanent dis
ability. Mr.. Gering was making
some adjustment or repairs around
his hay press which he had in OPP
Grafton when the sleeve of his coat
became caught in the cogs of the
press and his arm was drawn into the
gears. One of the bones in the. arm
was broken just below the elbow
and the muscles badly torn and Ia
cerated. While the accident was a
very serious one it seems like some
what of a miracle that his entire
arm was not torn off.
