Donovan, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Donovan of the Portage Road in Ashland suffered a fractured wrist and other bruises after he fell 20 feet to a cement ftoor in his father's potato house.
His condition yesterday was also reported as "satisfactory."
The Castle Hill youth was working on the back of his father's harvesting machine when his arm was caught. The farm is located on the Slate Road. The physicians were forced to amputate the limb when it could not be freed from the machine.
