LOSES LEFT ARM IN MOTOR ACCIDENT – Brother-in- Law of J.M. Clark Frightfully Mangled In Smash Near Cloverdale.

            Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Clark and son Harland, who accompanied Mrs. H. Grieve to Cloverdale, and Miss Jean Warren to Vancouver, where she is attending normal school, returned to the city Friday.  During their stay at Cloverdale Mr. Grieve suffered the loss of his left arm, when he was repairing the rollers on a hydraulic dump on a heavy truck.  It took about an hour to extricate the man from his perilous position, the arm being ground into pulp.  Following his removal to the Vancouver general hospital, it was found necessary to amputate the arm just below the shoulder.  When Mr. and Mrs. Clark left the coast he was reported progressing favorably.
