ACCIDENT VICTIM
Seattle letters reaching local friends
of John A. Wilson by late mails an
nounce that he was recently the vic
tim of an unfortunate accident which
resulted in one of his arms being
broken below the elbow.
The break is said to have been
caused by the "kick hack” of an auto
mobile starting crank. John was at
tempting to start the machine when
the heavy crank was thrown violently
backward, striking him on the fore
arm and fracturing the bone.
