Painful Accident

Mrs. James Montgomery met with a strange as well as painful accident at her home one day this week. She slipped upon the ice and fell against the iron fence in such a manner as to impale her right hand upon one of the pickets, producing an ugly, jagged wound and nearly perforating the member. A physician was called and the wound given proper medical attention and aside from the inconvenience she will suffer no ill effects.
