(by Star Special Service)
Geneva, Ind., Dec. 11.- While hanging up a piece of beef at her home on North High street, today, 
Mrs. V. H. Sinch
was the victim of a peculiar and painful accident.  A ring on her finger caught on the hook when she gave a little leap to reach the hook.  Her weight caused the ring to strip the finger to the bone and might have amputated it had the ring not broken.
