George Feiger, who resides on a
farm near Montfort. met with a
painful accident one week ago Sunday
that came near proving fatal. He
was attacked by vicious hog and his
hand and wrist we're SO torn open
before the animal stopped that 6
stitches were necessary to close the
wound The lad started for Montfort
in wagon with a companion but the
rough roads started the wound to
bleeding again and the boy fell from
the wagon receiving other bruises
about the face. He was so weakened
from the loss of blood that he was
unable to get into the wagon for a
long while and it was seven O'Clock
in the evening before they reached the
DOCTORS Office where he was cared for
and will come out all right.
