Other News Notes.

(Rosebud News)
Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock Sam Ragan, a well known citizen of this city
and an employee at the Wells gin, was horribly mangled by the gin saws.
Just how the accident happened is unknown, as no one was present just at the
time. It is supposed, however, that Mr. Ragan was up on the stands when in
some manner he fell on the saws.
One side and leg were torn to pieces and the bone near the ankle completely
shattered.
Drs. Black and Burford were in attendance upon the wounded man at once and after
having him conveyed to his residence, dressed the wounds and made him as
comfortable as possible.

The groom was a former resident of this city, having been with B. Loewenstein &
Sons, and has a host of friends who sih him much happiness and prosperity.
Miss Mila is one of Rosebud's most affable young ladies. Her sweet,
amiable disposition won her the love of everyone and Mr. Barnett is to be
congratulated on winning such a companion for life.
