Mannled In a Press. Wallie Thrasher, a Hon of J. II. Thrasher and Tnii llKUAhli's ollice boy, met with an accident last night that has crippled him for life.

The press is run by a treadle and it is sup posed was going at h high rate of Bpeed. The younger boy was run ning the press and Wallie at tempted to stop it by catching hold of the arm at the side of the press. His hand slipped oft and was taught between two cog wheels, which mashed and mangled his hand in a terrible manner.

There it was discovered that the hand was crushed so that it was uecessary to amputate all ex. ceptthe thumb After the opera tion had been performed it was found that the thumb could not be saved and his whole hand was am putated just below the wrist. The press must have been run ning at a terrific speed or it would have stopped before it had laterally torn hi hand to pieces. If he had kept on with his work and had not stopped to play with the press he would have had two hands instead of one. After the hand had been ampu tated and dressed be was removed to his hoinc'and is getting along as well as c-.ild bc expected under the circunifstnnces.. LiUen by a Tarantula. W. II.
