While operating a threshing machine last Friday, August Herzberg had his right arm pretty badly chewed up in a cog wheel. Mr. Herzberg had his arm thrust inside the seperator cleaning out some rubbish that had wound around a pulley. In an unguarded moment the gearing of the machine came in contact with his dark coat sleeve, in the twinkling of an eye the coat sleeve was wound up and the relentless cog wheels began crinding into the large muscles of his arm just below the elbow. The belt was thrown off and the machine stopped as quickly as possible. The young man was quickly loaded into a buggy and taken to this place where Dr. Goula dressed the wound and lacerations. A peice of muscle about four inches long was ground off the arm exposing the main arteries and bones. Had the artery been severed it is probably the man would have bled to death before reaching medical aid. At last accounts Mr. Herzberg is doing nicely but it is probably the use of the arm will always be impaired to a certain extent.
