JACOB REUTER ACCIDENT
[People’s Press, 23 May 1905]
Jacob Reuter was the victim of an extremely serious accident on Friday afternoon last while at work for Contractor Hogan. The drill Volcanic was being drawn up on the ways by capstans which were drawn by horses. Mr. Reuter was sitting on top of one of these capstans driving his team, when the bar broke and the short end attached to the capstan spun around striking his leg about half way between the knee and the ankle. The large bone of the leg was fractured in two places and the small bone in one place.
The injuries are serious and painful, but the limb will probably be saved.
