Vernon Condenser: Quite m
excitement was created in our town
on last Sunday morning, when 1t
was announced that DR.. s. j.
Smart's little SON, Edmond, had
swallowed pin. He had . small
cane loaded with q pin to shoot
grass hoppers with, and he acci-
dentally sucked it down his throat
He vomited several times before
he reached the house, and vomited
several times during the day, vOm-
, ting blood each time. The little
; fellow is up now, and he seems to
be all right. The DIR. is now in
clined to think that he vomited 4
up before he got to the house. We
: hope such is the case.
