MULES JAWS WENT SHUT.
Ralph Wilson's Narrow Escape From
Losing Hand at County Farm.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Ralph Wilson, son of Overseer
George Wilson, of the County Farm,
had one of his fingers bitten nearly off
by mule yesterday: The mule was
sorry afterwards that it allowed it's
jaws TO go together, for Ralph's OBJ
jects in fooling about its mouth were
intended to benefit it.
Ralph is almost veterinarian, hav-
ing completed a good portion of the
veterinary course at Ames college.
He was called upon yesterday after
noon to treat the mule, the animal
having found that its jaws did not
track. 1t was while he was engaged
in this good work that The animal
snapped its biters together. Ralph
did not remove his fingers in time,
and the result was that one of them
was painfully injured. The hospital
house surgeon dressed the wound
Hereafter, the county farm people
say, care will be taken that mules
mouths are carefully propped open
before operations are commenced.
