In doing so one of the hammers caught against the seat, and on being released fell on the nipple and exploded, sending the charge through the palm of his hand and wrist, shattering the bones nearly to the elbow. He was taken to the county hospital, where Drs. GODFRAY and REED amputated the arm at the elbow joint.
