Lost Fingers in Feed Grinder

Fred Kasten, who lives four miles west of Worthington on the Luverne road, on Monday had two middle fingers of his right hand taken off in a feed grinder at W.E. Larim__e's place. He had about finished his grist and was raking the leavings into the mill, when the fingers were caught by the cob-crushers and taken off. One of the fingers was left in the mill, the other hung by a part of the skin and the doctor who dressed the injury sewed it back on with the hope of saving it.
