   “Tuesday forenoon, while working in the mill yard at Hooper, Fred Shears 
was so unfortunate as to have a log roll on his right leg, breaking it.  It 
was a very bad fracture, both bones being broken below the knee protruding 
from the flesh, the young man was brought to the home of Birt Shears, in this 
village, and Dr. H.E. Whitney was called.  He is doing as well as can be 
expected, but was in terrible pain all day Wednesday and Thursday when out 
from under the soothing influence of opiates.  Mr. Shears is 22 years of age, 
and is a son of Sidney Shears.  Friday forenoon Drs. Snook, of Kalamazoo, 
assisted by the local physicians, removed the leg above the knee.  His body is 
bruised badly, and it is doubtful if he recovers.  Later: - - The young man 
died about 5:30 p.m. this, Friday afternoon.”
