While sawing wood, last Friday, with a buzz saw, near the Dr. Hunter residence, Frank Eilers accidentally caught his left hand against the rapidly rotating saw, and it was almost severed across the center of the palm. Two arteries were cut and the wound bled profusely. Dr. Hunter dressed the torn flesh and Frank is now in an improving condition.
