John Middlecamp Suffers Eye Injury That May Result Seriously.

John Middlecamp, off near Kniman, was chopping wood Tuesday, and a chip flew into his right eye, breaking through the anterior chamber and letting the water run out. A Rensselaer doctor was summoned and he sent the patient at once to a Chicago hospital. It is probable that the sight of the eye is permanently destroyed. Mr. Middlecamp had the misfortune to suffer a fractured lug only a little more than a year ago.
