Michael THOMPSON s/o Geo. F. THOMPSON who keeps a paint factory on Princess St. met with a terrible accident on Thursday afternoon in that establishment. He was engaged at a perpendicular paint mixing machine when his clothes got caught in the shafting. He shouted out for help and when a man from the flat above stopped the machine, it was found that Mr. Thompson was badly hurt. His right arm was torn off between the shoulder and elbow and he seemed to be badly injured about the back and breast. He was immediately taken to his home next door and medical aid was summoned with all possible dispatch. In a short time Dr James Christie, Dr. Travers, Dr. D.E. Berryman and Dr. Thos. Walker, were in attendance. Mr. T. was placed under chloroform and the small part of the remainder of the arm was amputated. - 'News' - We regret to learn that Mr. Thompson died on Saturday morning from the injuries received.
