PAINFUL ACCIDENT
YOUNG MAN’S HAND CAUGHT IN STRIPPER,
FOUR FINGERS AMPUTATED
Joseph Lucinskie, employed at the Whitaunui flaxmill, met with a painful and serious accident on Tuesday morning. While attending to a stripper his hand was drawn into the aperture and four fingers of the left hand were practically crushed off by the heater bars and the thumb —the spread of which saved the hand being drawn in—was badly dislocated. The sufferer was attended by Dr. Wyllie and conveyed to the Palmerston Hospital where the crushed digits were amputated. Upon inquiry jUiis morning we learn that the sufferer is progressing favourably.
