— A most tragic incident happened last Saturday afternoon at the Charles Molzen farm Southwest of Newton, when Orville Tinsley, fifteen year old high school boy, was instantly killed when a circular saw broke. A piece of the saw hit Orville at the top of the head, almost severing that part from the rest. Orville had been sawing railroad ties as the accident happened.
