FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, Feb. 9, 1911 DENNIS ADLER MEETS WITH TERRIBLE ACCIDENT __________ Becomes Entagled [sic] in Belt at Laundry, is Carried to Ceiling and Pinned Between it and Shaft -- Leg and Arm Broken __________ At about 9:30 o'clock this morning Dennis Adler, who works at the Jet White Laundry, met with a terrible accident in which one of his legs and one arm were broken, and he narrowly escaped with his life. It seems that he was behind the washer, which stands near the wall, for the purpose of slipping on the belt to start the machinery, when in some way his clothing was caught in the belt and he was whirled to the ceiling, where he was wedged in between it and the shaft, stopping the machinery. It was some little time before he could be extricated from his perilous and painful position. Physicians were at once summoned, when it was discovered that his left leg and arm were broken, but it is thought that no internal injury was sustained. The doctors set and dressed his broken limbs and made him as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. ****************************************************** FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, February 16, 1911 DENNIS ADLER'S CONDITION Dennis Adler, who was badly broken up in an accident at the Jet White Laundry last Thursday morning, an account which appeared in The Times of last week, was taken to the Baptist Sanitarium in St. Louis Friday morning. A careful examination at the hospital revealed the fact that 18 bones were broken, but that no internal injuries were incurred and that no amputation of either the arm or leg will be necessary. His condition is said to be favorable and he has had no fever, but recovery will naturally be slow.
