Serious
Accident
Clinton,
11 years old son of Frank Lyons, residing just north of the city, met with a
serious accident Sunday afternoon, which narrowly escaped fatal results. They
were running the gasoline engine pumping water for the stock, and the little
fellow was near the shafting when the mitten on his left hand was caught and
before the engine could be stopped his arm had been drawn around the shaft and
broken above the elbow. The thumb of the same hand was bent backwards and torn
from the ligaments, causing most painful injury. Surgical assistance was
summoned and such relief as possible was rendered. Had he been alone at the time
he probably would have been whirled to death about the shaft.
