Nearly Bled to Death.

New York, 1895

George Davis, an employe of the Far Rockaway ice manufacturing company, while bottling mineral waters on Tuesday, was seriously injured by a defective bottle, which burst, the flying glass cutting him on the arms and hands and severing an artery. Davis bled almost to death.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 21, 1895, p. 1.
