Obituary: Man is Cut to Pieces by Saw in Carroll: On Thursday of last week at his sawmill, near his home in the Thirteenth District of Carroll County, S.A. Pritchard met with a horrible death. While sawing he fell on the saw and the back part of his head was sawed off, one arm was cut off at the shoulder, and cut into once or twice, and other slighter injuries were received. The mill had recently been established and Mr. Pritchard was just learning to saw.
