Eli Wise, the first Victim of the Corn Shredder in this County, this year. Eli Wise was the victim of a horrify ing accident last Saturday, and had a narrow escape from death. Mr. Wise lives on the Camden road, five miles east of Delphi. He has a silo, for stor ing and curing feed for his stock. While running the shredder which pre pares the feed for the silo his right hand was drawn into the machine and the arm was crushed and mangled to the elbow. He had wonderful nerve and walked unaided to his house where he waited patiently until Dr. Cochran was summond from Delphi and it was an hour before the doctor could reach the injured man. The arm was amputated below the elbow. Mr. Wise is about sixty years of age and one of the largest land owners and most prosperous farmers in the county.
