JOHN OTTO BADLY HURT AT CANNERY;
 IS RUSHED HERE
,1x zs@z s7'y s's7

With his leA cu: entirely off just below the knee, as the result of an accident, John Otto, 28, ma. tive of Germany, was rushed into Juneau on the cannery tender Comet from Taku harbor this af- ternoon and taken 10 st. Ann's hospital by Capt. C. E. Ahues, superintendent of the Taku Can nery of ihe Libby McNeill and Libby Company.
 The accident occurred when a scow was being launched off the ways at the cannery and instead of jumping free, Otto, one of the beach men at the cannery, got caught in the blight of rope when the scow was cut loose. Owing to the ruggedness of the cut it was necessary to amputate just above the knee, according to the attend ing physician. Otto is said to be in excellent condition considering the shock ha has undergone.
 The injured man has no rela- tiyes in this country, according 10 Capt. Ahues, and was in Alas ka just to spend the summer be- fore making an extensive trip through the United States to study business methods and American life. He recently came here from Canada where he had been for a number of months.
