MAN LOSES FINGERS
Caught in Meat Mincer Dominion Special Service, Dunedin, March 19. It is not given to many men to be able to appear so nonchalant as did Mr. George Cooper at Cromwell yesterday afternoon when he suffered the loss of four fingers of his right hand. Mr. Cooper, of the butchery firm of Cooper and Poulson, was feeding a power mincer and unthinkingly pushed down the meat with his hand, the fingers of which were iustautly caught in the knives. Turning to his assistant he held up the stump of his hand, exclaiming: “Look! they are all gone!” Mr. Cooper was quickly removed te Cromwell Hospital, where the injured hand was attended to by Dr. Austin.
