THE RESULT OF RECKLESS POOLING.

years old, had the arteries In the back of
her left hand badly cut yesterday after
noon at Creigh's market on Doulgass
avenue. She went into the market and
took up cleaver and began fooiing with
q young man named John Buckley. In
some way she ran her hand across the
back of the knife that Buckley held In
his hands, and the blood began.to fow
I rapidly. She ran across the street to her
home, 1I6 Douglass avenue, and tnen
went to drug store on Smith street.
On the way back she saw DIR. Flynn,
VINO went TO get some stuff to bind the
wounds with and Georgianna returned
home and stood on the sidewalk until
she tainted from loss OF blood. DIR. Flynn
arrived after a few moments, but In the
meantime the girls parents had sum-
moned DIR. &. Il. Marston. The two
physicians had quite job hxing.up the
arteries, but when they had done this
the girl was out of.danger. No blame Is
attached to Buckley by the girl or her
parents, as the cutting was entirely an

may be said, by carelessness on the part
OF both the injured party and the holder
of the knife. The cut on the back OF
the hand was an inch and half long.
