pocket knife and used it quite freely.
Cne stroke made an ugly cash in
Clarence's cheek, while another made
a dangerous wound aoout the scalp
line over the left eye. These wounds
were properly sewed up at the time,
and there was no thought of future
danger. For the past two years, how
ever, Mr.. Haley has been troubled
with a pain in the head at about the
location Of the old woand in the
skull. 81.
Medical treatment did not sseem to
help him any, and ssre:ently Mr. Ha-.
ley had DR.. Jones examine his. heads
with the x rays. This wonderful
machine Of modern medical science
