Arm Cut by a Saw

Yesterday about noon a young lad by the name of Frank Ritter, who works in the shingle factory of L. P. Hough & Co., was unfortunate enough to have one of his hands caught by a circular saw which he was operating, and it was severely mangled. He was taken to Dr. Horr for surgical attention, when it was discovered though severely injured, that his arm may possibly be saved.
