Show PAINFUL ACCIDENT On last Thursday afternoon a boy named Albert Stephensen - aged 15 years, met with a very painful accident at the Temple wood camp in Logan Canyon. He was walking through the brush, carrying a sharp ax over his shoulder, when his foot caught in a knotted bush and he was thrown forward with his face to the ground. The ax penetrated his back, about two-thirds of the way down to the hips from his shoulder, inflicting a frightful wound. He was immediately brought to this city and placed in the care of Doctor Ormsby, who examined the wound and found that one of the principal muscles of the boy's back had been cut through - the gash being about three inches long and one inch in depth, and only half an inch from the spinal column. He was at that time quite helpless, being utterly unable to walk a single step; but he is now able to move about and will in all probability entirely recover. |
