"An intemperate man by the name of Royal W. Lucas, of Brownfield, while returning with a friend from Gotham, where they had been at work, fell backwards upon his scythe and severed the cords of his neck. This friend drew the scythe out, making a horrid gash, and left him for dead. Two ladies soon came along and found the wounded man. They rubbed the sand and gravel of the road into the terrible wound and wheeled him home on a barrow. The Doctor says he may possibly recover, but will never be fit for anything, as the severed cords are drawn in so far that they can never be made to meet again."
