Jule Hamrick, colored laborer at Eastside mill, received a badly cut wrist Friday evening when a bale of cloth which he was handling somehow fell upon his hand, the metal tie with which the cloth was bound turning and gashing the man’s wrist. Although the wound was not deep, it was sufficient to cut the great vein in two, and the negro lost blood copiously.
Immediately afterwards he fainted. An emergency tourniquet was applied, which failed to stop the bleeding. It was necessary to practically carry him to the car, and he was brought to town where his wound was dressed.
