Henry Z Kussell, president of the

exceedingly painful and serious aool
dent on Monday evening last. Ilo was
riding a recently purchased saddle
horse, and at a point near tho Sandor
coak residence on tbo old Howloy road,
in Cherry Ridge township, tho animal
stumbled ond Mr. Kussell was thrown
over his head. He struck heavily on
his left side and the arm was vory bad
ly hurt. With tho assistance of a lad
he was able, however, to remount and
roturu to town unattended. Un reach
ing bis stables the serious nature ot bis
injuries becamo apparent through (he
abnormal swelling of the arm and tho
terrible pain which sot In. Drs. Nielsen
and Burns, who were callad, recom
mended an X-ray examination, and Mr.
BusboII was hurried iu his automobile
to tho oflloo of Dr. P. B. Peterson. It
was found that he had sustained a dis
location of the left elbow; but far more
serious than this painful feature was
the tearing of tbo brachial artery, up
on which the circulation and ooneo
quontly tho life of the arm depends.
The dangorout nature of tho injury and
the necessity for prompt surgioal treat
ment boiug at onoe recognized, Dr.
ltoed Burns, ot Bcranton, was immedi
ately summoned. Tbore being no avail
able trains be made the thirty-two mile
trip by automobile, arriving here in
lime to perform an operation in the
early morning. The arm was slit open
and a largo quantity of coagulatod
blood removed, and suoh other treat
ment given as surgical science suggest
ed. In many caeoe of thn sevoring of a
principal artery, gangrene follows,
rendonug amputation necessary, and
this condition was greatly feared iu Mr.
Hussell's case. At the best, severtl
hours aro required before the full ox
