A Fork Tine Run Through McLaren's Wrist - Banks Made Money - A Boy Loses a Leg

Chelsea, Mich., July 3 - W. S. McLaren, the Argus newsboy at this place, met with quite a painful but not serious accident late yesterday afternoon. He with a number of other boys was at work removing the sod from the diamond on the ball grounds, loading the same on a wagon preparatory to having it drawn away, when in some way, one of his companions, who was using a fork, accidentally ran one of the tines through the left wrist of Wirt, barely missing the large artery. It is thought that no serious results will follow but it will be several weeks before Wirt will be able to again play his favorite game of base ball.
