Treasurer Boyd had a narrow escape
from losing an eye on Tuesday evening
while working about his yard. He was
tearing a fence down and caught the
hammer he was using on the branch of
a rose bush, switching it around SC as
to strike himself in the eve.
The eye panied him severely and
he sought medical aid. He called
upon DR.. A. Gibson and it was
soon found that a thorn from the bush
was still sticking in the eye. The doctor
proceeded to remove it and Mr. Boyd
prepared himself to undergo an ordeal,
but Was surprised when the doctor
showed him the thorn and told him it
was out. Had the thorn penetrated a
sixteenth of an inch farther Mr.. Boyd
would have lost the eye.-Reno Journal.
