MONTJOY , IN ACCIDENT Clinton Boy Seriously Injured At Parr Shoals When Ann and Shoulder **" Blade Are Severed. Garrison Montjoy, son of .Mrs. W. P. Montjoy of this city, was the victim last Wednesday of a very serious acci dent at Parr Shoals, a power plant of the Broad River Power company* at Columbia. He is now » patient in the Baptist hospital, at Columbia, and grave fear has been held for several days over his condition. It was stat ed yesterday by his physicians that his condition remains about the same, and that unless new complications develop, he has a chance to recover. His moth er is with him in Columbia and has been at his bedside since the deplora ble accident occurred. -Mr. Montjoy was showing a new man how to operate a machine used in unloading coal from the cars and carrying it to the cleaning and pul verizing plant, when he noticed a nail had been caught in the magnetic wheel and he climbed up the ladder ..to the wheel which was about 50 feet from the ground. WTiile attempting to re move the nail his left arm became caught in the machinery and was lit erally torn from his body, bringing (with it his collar bone also. Mr. Mont joy never lost consciousness and after the accident descended the narrow lad der to the ground and walked unas sisted to the commissary some 200 yards pway and was there placed in an automobile and started to the Bap tist hospital. He was met on the road jby an ambulance and was rushed to the hospital. Upon his arrival he in sisted on walking into the hospital, but the attendants'* refused to allow him to do so. • Mr. Montjoy showed unusual grit and stamina in that he never did lose consciousness or flinch during treat ment of the injured part. Many peo ple who saw the wound marveled at the grit and strong constitution of the young man. He chatted with friends who later called on him at the hospital and told them in detail how the accident occurred. y Although the wound is of a very serious nature there is hope of his recovering, but it will be a long a te dious heal. Mr. Montjoy has been employed by the Broad River Power Co. for two and a half years and has proven a valuable employee. He was acting in the capacity of clerk to the chief me- j chanical engineer at the time of the' accident. CROSS HILL ITEMS OF INTEREST ^ .....—— Mr. and Mrs. R. T.
