"Blackhawk Courier", Waterloo, Iowa, Tues., Jan. 18, 1859

Mr. Wm. HALL was seriously injured on the 28th ult., while engaged in sawing a short oak plank on the circular saw of a machine shop. The board flew to pieces, one end of which struck him between his eyes.

(Transcriber's note: It wasn't mentioned if this occurred in Jefferson County or Black Hawk County, or where Mr. Hall was from.)
