[Note: Beginning of item was cut off and not available at the time of transcription.] …of Chas. Nagel befell with an accident that may cost him the loss of the sight of his right eye. The little fellow was driving the cows into the barn and in striking one of them the long lash of the whip he was using partly wound around the cows legs, the end of it coming up and taking him in the eye.
He was taken to the hospital at Stevens Point, Mrs. Nagel accompanied him, where all was done to save his sight. From latest reports he is getting along nicely but it is still an uncertainty as to whether he will regain his sight or not.
