" as taken home, his arm was brought after
him. IL was thrown into pail, when the poor
little Fellow screamed with pain. The severed
limb was then placed in a box and buried in
the garden. Shortly after he said that some
thing was crawling on the inside OF the hand.
was discovered in the palm OF the hand. A
large jar was obtained, and il became neces-
sary TO crowd the arm in, when the sufferer
fairly went into parOxysms of pain. The limb
was placed in a jar partly filed with alcohol
and then replaced in the ground. The little
fellow complained that his rm and fingers gera
in terribly cramped position, and that the
little finger and next one were growing to-
sether. Tie jar was then taken up, when the
limb was found crowded and cramped as de.
scribed. The boy knew nothing Of the dlsposl-
ton of his arm.-TrOg Times.
