On account of the flinty nature of some members, however, it may be necessary to use a few nails and screws, or perhaps discard them entirely. Leg Torn From Body rOX’rtx’L'ED TkOM PAGE ONE Word from the boopital at noon today, whe>e Mr. Smith was taken soon after the accident, by the employees of the factory, was that he was an<:<.going an operation at that time, and that so far he had withstood the trip and ordeal very well. Considerable damage was caused to the engine room, which made it necessary to close down the same until repairs could be made. All of his fellow workers are anxiously awaiting word of his condition, and along with his many friends sincerely hope he will survive tlie serious injuries which he sustained so suddenly and unexpectedly. The second mesage received at 2:30 o’clock was that he came out of the operation very well and withstood the ordeal remarkably well. This will be good news for those anxious to K, hear of his condition. . FOR SALE —Four fresh milch cows, & Embden geese and Rhode Island Red ’’'Ckerels; ’phone F-12. E. S. ChrisV '<*. 22t3
