Cut Hand in Saw

While sawing wood at the Lutheran church in Wartburg, Monday morning, 
William Boedecker Sr., got his left hand too near the rapidly revolving 
circular saw and four of his fingers were badly cut.  Luckily, however, no 
bones were broken and the wounds were stitched up by the family surgeon 
who expects the hand to heal up nicely in due course of time.
