Peculiar ACCIDENT to BOY.

HARVARD, Neb, June 3.-(Special.) -
What came near being a fatal accident
occurred yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Edwards, when
their child, boy of years. became seri-
ously cut on barbwire fence. The father
had taken a young calf away from its
mother. which had again got through the
fence where the COW was feeding, when
this boy and smaller one also crawled
through the fence to play with the calf
when the mother COW came after the larger
boy, crowding him against the fence. one
strand OF the wire being just high enough
to strike the boy across the throat. The
COW, still pressing the boy against the
fence resulted in the barbs cutting the
child's throat from within about two inches
Of one ear to about the same distance
from the other. except for a short skip
under the chin but the result was the
cutting OF a vein and the free flowing Of
the blood. At this writing, favorable con-
ditions seem to give hopes that the boy
will recover.
