Narrative

Employee stated he was helping move the Cont. miner cable over out of the way when a piece of tie wire hung in an ear ring. Not realizing it was caught in the ear ring he continued to walk on moving the cable. It ripped his ear lobe into two pieces. Medical services glued it at first but then he had to go back and get stitches.
