Well, my arm hasn't fallen off yet typing out the Mother Lode requests, so will post this...for Steve & Pam. October 4, 1901 A.B. Caminetti, was coming home from Ione Sunday afternoon, and met with an accident that will lay him up for some time. It was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon just as the rain had begun falling, and the portion of the road where it had been oiled, was slippery. He was driving a mare in a cart, and all at once the animal slipped and fell, throwing Mr. Caminetti about twenty feet out in the road. He struck on his right elbow and shoulder, dislocating the bones in both joints and rendering him utterly helpless. The mare got on her feet and one of the shafts having been broken, pricked her in the side, causing her to run away. She ran as far as D....?'s place, where she was stopped. As good luck would have it, Dick Martin from Ione came along soon after the accident happened, and helping Mr. Caminetti into his buggy, brought him into town, where surgical aid was summoned and the dislocated bones put back in place. Mr. Caminetti is around looking after his business, but will be unable to use his arm for some weeks. The animal he was driving was not hurt beyond a few scratches, but the cart was considerably wrecked. Jackie in California [email protected]
