Simon Jorgenson, who has been
employed for a number of years
it the Texas Milling Company tn
Clifton, injured his right hand
when it became caught in a pellet
machine there last Friday morning.
As a result of the accident hia
mangled middle finger had to be
amputated at the knuckle. One of
his other fingers on the same hand
also was hurt, but the doctors think
it eventually will be all right with
treatment
Mr. Jorgenson said Monday after-
noon that the accident occurred
when he thought the feed was
choked up in the pellet machine.
He reached up to get H loose, and
the machine’s blade, which was in
operation, caught his hand. He
feels that he was fortunate in not
receiving a more extensive injury
an a result of Oc.accident.
