A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Last Sunday evening while working on Glenn Hill’s wood saw at Oscar Barnum’s
residence, Harry Zeitz had the misfortune of getting his left hand caught in
the saw, cutting off the first joints of the thumb and index finger and the
other three fingers partly severed, but possibly with careful attention the
fingers may be saved, although they were only hanging on by the skin. The
serious accident happened when they were sawing the last stick of wood; they
had been sawing pitchy wood and changed over to green cherry: it was tough
and a piece of pitch had stuck to the saw and caught on the piece of cherry
and sprung the stick and throwing his hand into the saw.
