Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) May 3, 1858
On the 3d inst., while the gunners attached to the Ringgold Artillery, were
exercising with their brass six-pounder, a premature explosion occurred, tearing a
hand from Mr. Solomon Hoch, setting fire to his clothes and otherwise injuring him.
The physicians cut off the hand above the wrist and the patient is doing well.
