Ashland Clipper, July 10, 1913
A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
While working around the machinery of the Farmers Elevator at Englewood the 2nd
inst. Floyd Rifner in some way got his sleeve caught on the shafting and had his
clothing torn off, taking with it the left arm which was pulled from the socket
at the shoulder.
The unfortunate young man was attended by Doctors Hawley of Englewood and
Ireland of Ashland, but they could do little. He was taken the next morning to
the hospital at Wichita where he died a few days later.
