Mrs. Leslie Sherlock, whose arm was injured badly in an elevator accident in McCabe & Grice’s store, on East Main street, last Tuesday afternoon, is recovering rapidly, according to Dr. Zenas Faring, her attending physician. She is at the home of her sister, Mrs. John Markham on Riverside avenue.
Mrs. Sherlock was injured when she grabbed a small boy as he was jumping from the elevator when it was nearing the ground floor. Somebody grabbed the rope controlling the elevator, causing it to rise, and Mrs. Sherlock’s arm was caught between the elevator and the mezzanine floor, and badly lacerated. It was feared for a time that amputation would be necessary.
