"A Man Killed by a Wood Saw"
Mr. H.H. Johnson a farmer residing near Mazomaine, has been engaged in sawing wood with a wood sawing that village this winter. Last Thursday afternoon, while sawing for Mr. D.W. Bronson, the balance wheel on the saw, which was running at a rapid speed flew into a number of pieces several which struck Mr. Johnson mangling him in a fearful manner. One large piece struck him in the breast and another piece struck him in the side of his face, taking the ear entirely off with a portion of the scalp.
