As a result of becoming entangled in the balance wheel of a small odd job gasoline engine he was about to start, Emil Bloom is at Physicians Hospital at TRF minus the greater part of his right hand thumb, a dislocated wrist and a broken radius bone in his forearm. It appears that Mr. Bloom, who is a young farmer residing about one mile north of tow, had on Wednesday afternoon attempted to start a small gas engine used to pump water to turn the washing machine and other small jobs, and in turning the balance wheel over with hand to start it, his glove had caught somehow and as the engine started with a jerk, it threw Mr. Bloom against the opposite wall with the sad result named. Dr. CM Adkins of TRF was immediately summoned by telephone and responded directly but on arriving discovered that the injury was of such a nature that home treatment was inadequate and took the patient along to the hospital where he now remains. It is later learned that the thumb and part of the hand will be amputated that hope is retained for the successful healing of the arm and wrist.
