Left Hand Sawed Off

|, An unfortunate accident befell
Maurice Gerberich at his home on
Lake Latoka yesterday forenoon, at
II 80 o'clock, when his left hand was
sawed off by a circular saw.
The o. M. Englund wood saving
rig was at the Gerberich place saving
logs. Mr.. Gerberich was helping the
boys and while raising log to the
saw his NIT caught on knot and
drew his left hand to the saw, which
almost completely severed it at the
wrist. A physician was hastily sum-
moned and arrived there within
twenty minutes after the accident
happened. But for the presence of
mind of one Of the boys there, in
binding a handkerchief around the
wrist Mr.. Gerberich would have bled
to death before it was possible for a
doctor to arrive there.
The hand was amputated just above
the wrist following the accident.
Mr.. Gerberich is recognized as a
talented musician and had just re-
Gently been appointed director of the
Alexandria City Band-Alexandria
Citizen News.
