Novice Butcher Cut Wrong Beef at Eigelsbach’s Shop.

Tone Overton is wearing eight stitches in his face to close up a wound made accidentally by Johnny Horton this Friday morning. John is learning the butcher business at Eigelsbach’s shop where Tone has worked for the past two or three years. Johnny was cutting a steak this morn*ing and brought his sharp knife through with considerable flourish just as Tone was passing back of him. The keen blade struck Tone just a shade above the left eye and cut a big gash across the eyebrow and down the left cheek. Eight stitches were required to close up the wound. It is believed that only a small scar will be left to mar the young man’s looks.
