QUARRYMAN LOSES AN EYE
Victim of a serious accident yesterday, William Narramore, a laborer in one of the stone quarries north of town, was driving a steel splitting wedge with a sledge hammer at four o'clock yesterday, when a large sliver of steel flew off of the wedge and buried itself in the unfortunate man's left eye. He was removed to his home on North McGregor street and Dr. Wale summoned. With the aid of powerful magnets, the piece of metal was drawn into view so that it could be grasped with a pair of pinchers and extracted. The piece of steel was nearly an inch long and a quarter of an inch wide, and mutilated the man's eye in so terrible a manner that the optic will have to be removed. Mr. Narramore is 34 years old and has a wife and two children to support.

William Narramore, the quarryman who was struck in the eye by a flying splinter of steel, as mentioned in a recent issue of the PRESS, went to Dr. Wale's office this morning and had the injured optic removed. Dr. Wise administered the anesthetic, from the effects of which Mr. Narramore revived, in good order, and he is now doing as well as could be expected.
