Jasper Wright met with an accident last Thursday that was very serious and one that might easily have proven fatal. He was at W. W. Miller’s north of town and was loading a beef into the butcher wagon to take it to the slaughter house. Jap had hold of the windlass pulling the critter into the wagon and at a moment when he slacked his hold the animal flew back, thus causing the crank to fly from Jap's hand and strike him a terrific blow on the heed. It inflicted a very serious wound and would have caused instant death had the handle stiUck him an Inch or two higher. His wounds were promptly dressed and hes was able to be around the next day. His hand was also struck by the revolving crank badly Injuring it.
