THREE  ACCIDENTS  OCCUR
IN  LOCAL  FACTORIES
----------
Painful  Injuries  Sustained
By  Workmen  --  One  Receives Two  Broken  Bones
----------

          Three men were injured today and yesterday while working in local manufacturing concerns.  The most serious accident occurred at the Fame Canning Co. and was sustained by  John C. Mack,  foreman of the cutting department.  The other two, while not so serious, are, nevertheless, painful and were suffered by  Wilford Snapp  and  James McCracken  of the Danziger Furniture Co. and the Spiegel Cabinet Co., respectively.  The wounds were dressed by  Dr. Sam Kennedy,  who reports that all three patients are doing satisfactorily.
          The fractures sustained by  John Mack were in the left forearm two or three inches above the wrist, where both bones were severed.  He was attemting to adjust a heavy belt on a running fly-wheel this morning, when the belt slipped, striking him on the wrist.  The woulnd received by Mr. McCracken at the Spiegel Cabinet Co. yesterday morning was in the thumb of the left hand.  He was in charge of a mitre saw when an inch of his left thumb was sliced off by the whirling blade.  Mr. Snapp was struck below the left eye this morning by a monkey wrench while wheeling a truck load of crating by a machine from which the tool slipped, cutting a gash which required three stitches to close.  Mr. Snapp was able to return to the Danziger factory this afternoon, where he works in the packing room.

          Alleging that he sustained permanent bodily injuries as a result of the defendant's recklessness,  John C. Mack, Jr.,  thru his father,  John C. Mack,  as his next best friend, has filed suit for damages against  Miss Mary Tomlinson,  of Fairland.  Demand is made for $2,000.  The accident to young Mack happened in this city at the corner of Harrison and Broadway on Sunday afternoon, August 14, 1910.  While walking north on the west side of Harrison street at the Broadway intersection, young Mack was struck by an automobile driven by Miss Tomlinson.  He received two broken ribs in the mishap and was cut and bruised about the body.  At the time the accident occurred it was thought that he had been internally injured.  The complaint says that Miss Tomlinson was a novice in the art of driving automobiles and it was thru her reckless driving that the accident took place.  The defendant is a daughter of  Rev. and Mrs. Samuel Tomlinson  of near Fairland.  Mack is only seventeen years of age and for this reason it was necessary for the name of his father to appear in the complaint.
