Show SAW MILL ACCIDENT. On Friday morning, W. C. Walker, who was attending the saw in Van Noy & Co.'s shingle mill in Beaver canyon, met with an accident which will cause him future inconvenience. The block turned on the feed gear, causing his foot to slip off the lever, releasing the carriage which moved forward, taking his right hand into the saw. By a muscular effort he succeeded in withdrawing the hand but not before he had lost one finger and a portion of two others. Bishop Bigby brought the sufferer to this city by train, and on Saturday morning Dr. Ormsby gave the patient the necessary surgical assistance. Mr. Walker formerly resided at Egin, Snake river, but has a ranch in the neighborhood of where he was working. He is progressing favorably and will remain at the Cache Valley House for a time. |
