MISHICOT MAN MAY LOSE LIFE
John Koch Caught in Shafting of Machinery is Seriously Hurt
Pulled into the shafting of the machinery he was oiling when his
clothing caught in a set screw, John Koch of Mishicott, an employe of
the Wisconsin Canning Co., at that place, was probably fatally injured
Saturday. Koch sustained the fracture of four ribs, his shoulder was
dislocated and may be broken and he was internally hurt and his body
bruised in terrible manner. Koch was brought to the hospital in this
city in the ambulance Sunday and is being given every attention in hope
of saving his life.
Every particle of clothing torn from his body, bruised and bleeding and
unconscious, Koch was found on the floor of the engine room after the
accident. The unfortunate man had been employed by the Vanderuel Co. for
years and when the company sold to the Wisconsin Canning Co., he
continued with the new company. He was alone in the engine room where
the accident happened and that he escaped instant death is little short
of a miracle. There is a bare possibility that Koch may survive but in
this event he will probably lose an arm, the limb being so badly torn at
the shoulder that it cannot be saved.
Koch is 39 years of age and was married a year ago to Mrs. Theresa
Schmidt, nee Kerscher of this city. He had been previously married, his
wife having died. The family includes wife and a babe, two weeks old.
Koch was a cautious man and valued employe and the accident is somewhat
of a mystery. A consultation of physicians was held today in the case.

KOCH LOSES LEFT ARM
Limb Amputated at Shoulder in Hope of Saving His Life
In hope of saving his life, physicians at the hospital Monday amputated
the left arm of Koch, the Mishicott man, who was injured in an accident
at the plant of the Wisconsin Canning Co. there and it is said that Koch
may survive his injuries. The arm was badly lacerated and the shoulder
was dislocated and crushed and there was no hope that the arm would be
saved. Koch's injuries are less serious than at first thought but his
condition causes anxiety and he is receiving every attention that will
help to save his life.

John Koch, the Mishicott man who had a close call from death in the
plant of the Wisconsin Canning Co., at Mishicott a few months ago and
lost an arm, has sued the company for $20,000 damages and the case will
be heard in circuit court here. Koch was caught in the shafting of the
plant while employed as engineer and was at the hospital for several
weeks having his arm amputated.
