"Proctor Painfully Hurt".--William Proctor received a very painful wound yesterday morning that for a time indicated that a serious if not fatal wound was inflicted. The accident occurred at Hanson's blacksmith shop while Mr. Proctor was gumming a saw by the means of an emery wheel that ran by gasoline power. Mr. Hanson noticed that the power was too high for such work and had just stepped into the engine room to slow the speed when the emery wheel burst and the pieces went promiscuously across the shop with great force one of which struck Proctor's forehead making a laceration about two inches long and in depth to the skull bone. The wounded man was at once taken to the office of Dr. Ambler where medical treatment was given and then he was conveyed to his home on Clay street. It was indeed a narrow escape from instant death and yet no one was really to blame. It simply belongs to a class of happenings known as accidents. Only last Monday Mr. Proctor met with a dangerous experience while working in a cistern but escaped without injury, but this time he was not so fortunate. He is resting easier today and hope is entertained that he will soon fully recover and be at his usual work again.
