    2. The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 5, 1901 Ellsworth ROBINSON, son of H.C. ROBINSON and wife, met with a serious accident which might have caused his death Monday night about 7 o'clock. He was playing near a windo where there was a broken paine of glass and run his hand through the opening in a playful manner. While his hand was projecting through the broken glass, he lost his balance, slipped and fell an din drawing his hand back cut it in a frightful manner from the wrist into the palm. The arteries were severed in the wrist and in a few minutes he would have bled to death had it not been for his mother's quick work and thoughtufllness in binding the arm and stopping the flow of blood. Dr. GILSTRAP was called and dressed the wound and the boy is getting along nicely. Ellsworth is about ten years old and has met with all the accident any boy need look for. Not long ago he ran a nail in his knee which came very near causing his death.
