Monday afternoon of last week, as
James Speir, a well-known resident of
of the Oth line, was assisting Wm. Dark
at a threshing on the farm of Henry
Alcock, Grey township, he met with a
bad injury. While reaching through
the cloud of dust at the rear of the
machine to find out if everything was
working properly, a large share of his
right hand was amputated, and his
thumb broken. Medical skill was at
once obtained, the .'injuries dressed and
Mr. Speir brought .to his home. Hopes
are entertained that the thumb may be
saved. The many old friends of Mr.
Speir greatly regret the unfortunate
accident but hope he may soon be able
to get about, although minus a portion
of his good right hand.
