Kurt Wilke, a machinist in the employ of the Aluminum Goods Mfg. Co., received serious injuries while at the work last Saturday. The accident occurred while Mr. Wilke was ?? babbitt into receptacle thru some unaccountable cause the bavit exploding in the air. The particle thus flying in the air struck Mr. Wilke in the mouth, nose and eyes. The left eye is most seriously hurt. He was brought to a physician for treatment. Up to this hour it seems as Mr. Wilke will not receive any permanent injuries. He will not lose his eye sight as was first thought.
