NAIL HOLDS BOY FAST, HOUR
Rescuer Forced to Saw Off Foot Of
Plank to Llberate
Victim.

Boston.-After lying helpless for an
hour and a half in an abandoned barn.
pinned to q board by rusty tenpen
ny nail. which had pierced his hand,
eight-year-old James Gallagher of No.
13O East Eleanor street, Olney, was
discovered by passing farmer, who
found 1t necessary to saw off a foot
of the plank to liberate him. The boy
was treated at the Frankford hospital,
where the surgeons had to use saw
again and cut away the remaining
portion Of the board before they
could remove the nail. The wound
was cauterized and large quantity
OF lockjaw antitoxin was injected.
The lad had been amusing himself
by sliding down an inclined board In
an unused barn In Cedar Grove lane,
about q mile from his home. He had
made only one or two trips when his
hand suddenly struck the huge nail.
which had been driven through the
edge of the plank and bent over to
form hook. The force of his swift
descent caused the sharp point to
penetrate entirely across the palm.
Screaming with pain, he tried to
Avrithe free. but every movement only
increased his agony, and he was un-
able to extricate himself. Literally
nailed to the plank, he lay for more
than an hour. until Joseph Wilson, a
farmer. of Second street pike, above
Fox Chase, heard his cries as he
passed In a wagon.
Wilson found the lad almost ex-
hausted from pain. He endeavored to
free him, but found that his efforts
only added to the victims misery. He
finally walked half mile and Dor.
rowed a saw with which be cut the
board across in two places, while the
boy, suffering intense agony, lay
watching him.
Having finally freed the lad, Wilson
placed him, with a foot of plank still
fastened to his hand, in his wagon
and drove at top speed to the Friends
asylum, the nearest institution. Physi
clans at that place, however, were un.
able to give any aid to the sufferer
and 1t was necessary for the farmer
to drive with him to Frankford be-
fore he obtained relief from his pain
