Child Swallows Lid of "A Tin Can.

A very singular accident happened
to little Grace, the seven year old
daughter of VIM. Colman and wife, of
near Columbia City, last Friday even
ing. The little girl was at home anus
ing the youngest child, baby, and had
been using small tin can for the pur-
pose. She bad the lid, which measured
over an inch in diameter in her
mouth, and while singing a lullaby
song to the little one. swallowed the tin
can cover.
This caused great excitement about
the home and Dr. Schuman was sum-
moned. Upon examination he learned
that the piece of tin had found it's way
to the child's stomach and there was no
wey to remove it except by surgical
operation. 1t was apparently doing no
harm and the doctor thinks the gastric
juice will in time destroy the metal.
