the field. His presence was not made
known until a shrill cry Of pain broke
from his lips and then the older brother
saw that he had been run down by the
mower.
The little victim was taken tenderly
in the arms of the grief-stricken brother
and carried home, where it was found
that the foot was only hanging by a few
tendons The injured limb was placed in
it's natural position and bandaged. Drs.
Rich and OsgoOd were summoned and
their arrival was none too soon, for the
little sufferer almost bled to death. The
foot was stitched on and there are good
indications that 1t can be saved.
