- A Serious Accident.
- While grinding corn for feed at J W Smith's last Saturday Russel Smith lost two fingers. Some cornhusks became lodged in the mill, and he reached to pull them out; stumbling, he put his hand too far between the grinders, and in an instant the first and second fingers of the left had were torn off. The team stopped at his command, or the whole hand might have been crushed. Two of the tendons were wrenched out of the arm, which may stiffen the hand to some extent. Dr.s Ewing and Bennett were summoned, and attended to the wounds as well as medical skill could do, but it will be several weeks before Mr. Smith will be able to use his hand. ______________________
