Hay Lose An Eve.

Mrs. A. d. Slzer, formerly Miss Cora
Eaton, WHO lives at 1926 Church street,
met with a severe and peculiar accident
Sunday evening. The children were
PLAYING with "buzz saw" The saw
consisted of heavy bone button,
strung onto two strings in the old way
we all remember so we'll. The strings
became twisted and Mrs. Sizer took the
toy to straighten them out and while
she was making the saw buzz for the
edifcation of the children the button
exploded. Whether the explosion was
caused by the button coming in contact
with a marble top table in front Of her
is not known, but it broke into a num-
Der of pieces, one of which flew and
struck her in the left eye, cutting long
and deep cash. AS a result Of the in
jury a considerable portion of the iris
ran out. DR.. Alcorn was called and
dressed the wound. lie says that as
yet it is impossible to state whether or
not she will lose the sight of the eye,
but that in any event the sight will be
greatly impaired.
