Show Park City Miner Notes. A serious accident happened Tuesday Tues-day at one of Kidder &Bros'. saw mills at the head of the Provo river, which resulted in Fred Wright, an employe, losing his right hand. He was engaged in sawing lumber, and, as was his custom, cus-tom, was holding the log as it ap pruached the saw. His foot was against the guide, but slipped in some way, and the fall threw his hand before be-fore the saw. It was cut entirely off just at the base of the thumb. His fellow fel-low workmen lost no time in getting him to the Park for surgical treatment. They arrived here in the evening and the injurf d man was taken to Dr. I.e-Compte's I.e-Compte's ofiice. Amputation at the wrist was decided upon, and Drs. Wilson Wil-son and LeCompte performed tlie operation. op-eration. At last accounts the patient was getting along nicely. From a very reliable source we learned this week that the Utah Central Cen-tral will soon commence surveying a new route over the d.vide at the head of the Provo river. The road has been mortgaged for 30,000,000, aud it is said that the moitgages have been tiled for record in Salt Lake, Wasatch and Uintah Uin-tah counties. The entire amount is to be used in construction, the road to be completed to Ashley, in Uintah county, at the earliest possible date. English capital has been secured to push this extension, and John" W. Young will once more be on his feet. A great many mean things have been said of Blaine. during his political career, but the "most nnKiudest cut of all" was perpetrated by the Provo Enquirer En-quirer in its issue of Monday last. In that paper appeared the following, in flaming head-lines: "Blaine Is Worse. He lias an Attack of Dyspepsia. He Beat His Wife." If the Secretary does not bring suit against the Enquirer for damages at once, he is not the man we have always thought him to be. Not from the New York Press: In the year 1880 Garfield received 4.440.053 votes for president as against 4.44i.o;s-" for Hancock, which completely explodes ex-plodes the arguments of the Territorial press that Washington was not a gentleman gen-tleman or that Jonah did not sw allow the whale. Respectfully submitted to the Provo Enquirer and Ogden Standard. |
