LOSES FOUR FINGERS IN ACCIDENT
Bayfield Guetchow (sic), aged 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Guetchow of the Town of Two Rivers, suffered a most painful and unfortunate accident Friday last which will greatly incapacitate him for life while at work on a power saw helping cut some shingles. The lad was engaged in removing an obstruction which interfered with the operation of the saw and in so doing, his hand came in contact with the saw completely severing the four fingers on his right hand. Bayfield was hurried to this city for surgical attention. He suffered terribly from pain. It is a most lamentable accident largely incapacitating the young man from early manhood though men have often done well in life with similar handicaps. The only finger remaining on the hand is the thumb.
