While standing on the bridge crossing

son Of MIR. and Mrs. George Tofft, had
the sight of his left eye destroyed by a

other boys who were fishing when one
of them threw his line over so that the
hook caught in the eye. The little fellow
was at once taken to Brainerd's Hospital
and the eye dressed Although the
sight is entirely destroyed it will not be
