         Hand Ground to Pieces
         
         Hastings Workman Meets With Terrible Accident
         
         Hastings, Mich., June 23. - In a terrible accident
       JAMES TOWNSEND, an employe at the local wool boot
       factory, lost his right hand and sustained other
       injuries. After he and the foreman had completed
       some repairs on a wool-picking machine, they turned
       on the power which operates the machine. Seeing a
       wrench lying on the feed apron near the rollers,
       TOWNSEND instinctively grabbed for the tool. His
       hand was caught in the feed rolls and ground to
       pieces before his companion could stop the machine.
