Mackin's Leg Crushed

New York, 1895

William Mackin, employed in the feed drying house of the National starch manufacturing company, at Glen Cove met with a serious accident Saturday afternoon. While working near the machinery his trousers were caught in a chain belt which instantly drew his foot and leg over the wheel, horribly crushing the leg.
