Show Serious Accident. Last Wednesday Dr. Droaddus r,j called to Fillmore In consultation on an Insanity case, but urgent calls to Abraham and to Delta on, the same day made It Impossible for him to go. The family of Mr. Dan Black was very thankful the next day that he had not gone, but was no farther than Hinckley at the time of one of the most horrible accidents that has occurred oc-curred In Deseret. Little 7-year-old Netta Black, while climbing Into a buggy, slipped and fell so that her right leg went through the wheel Just as the team started up. , Before they could be stopped she had , been whirled about several times by the revolving wheel and her little leg , was so horribly mangled that her ; clothing had to be cut away In order to extricate her. Dr. Hroaddus hurried , Irora Hinckley as fast as his own tenm , md Sam Stansworth's horse In relays -could run, and found the leg broken below the knee and also above the knee and through the Joint, the entire , knee Joint being laid open and the , knee capsule torn open. The broken lione of the thigh was laid bare for 5 , sr 6 Inchea by the mangled flesh rnd the large main artery was completely , levered, so that the child was very , seak from the terrible loss of blood, j only an Inch of skin and a bit of lesh held the upper and lower leg to ( (ether, the wound was full of axie- , trease and dirt, amputation became j lecessary at once. The operation was ( lerormed successfully by Dr. Broaddus t ind the child was taken to St. Mark s t lospltal for careful nursing. By Mon- , lay she was reported steadily linprov- ng. The miracle is that she wa rot ( tilled outright. The Blacks have the lympathy of the entire community. q |
