TWO FINGERS SEVERED.

Abe Hurley Gets Two Digits Cut Off In Binder. Abe Hurley of southeast of town got the two last fingers of his left hand cut off Monday in the knives of the cutter bar of a self-binder. Both fingers were cut off between the first and second joints and only hung by the skin. The bones were completely severed, but the cuts were clean and the bones were not ragged edges. His doctor sewed the severed parts back in place and thinks he can save both fingers.
