Sandy  McCorkle,  foreman  of  the  Key,  met
with  an  accident  last  week  which  came  near
depriving  him  of  his  right  hand.  A rock  weigh-
ing three  or  four  hundred  pounds  fell,  mashing
his  hand  as  flat  as  the  proverbial  pancake.  No
bones  were  broken,  but  it  will  be  some  time  be-
fore Sandy  will  be  able  to  do  a day’s  work.
