rem, Miss koehlor and Gene Warren
we're riding through Lone Mountain,
Miss Koehler noticed a woman wringing
her hands and calling out any baby is
dying" They stopped Immediately and
found the three months old baby Of Mrs.
Korn apparently choking TO death. Mrs.
Warren ran her finger down the baby's
throat but at first could feel nothing but
at length she felt the sharp point Of
what seemed 10 be n wire. She saw at
once that the services Of a physician
must be had Immediately but there was
no doctor nearer than Fort Bayard, five
miles away. She took the baby and
Mrs. Korn into the buggy and drove
with all possible speed to the fort where
they found the post surgeon. He saw
that the case was a desperate on andlost
no time in commencing operations. The
obstruction could be felt far down the
little ones throat but It was nearly three
quarters Of an hour before the doctor
succeeded in getting il out. II proved
to be q staple an inch and a half long
such as are used to fasten barbed wire TO
fence posts. The points we're sticking
up so that it was extremely difficult to
remove. 1t had been forced down the
baby's throat by a two year old child
which, Of course, could not realize what
it was doing.
After the staple had been removed the
baby was brought here and It is doing
much better than could be expected
under the circumstances. Had it not
been for Mrs. Warren's timely appear
ance and prompt action the child would
certainly have died. A delay Of but a
few minutes would have put the little
one beyond all human aid.
