culiar Manner.

The little five year old son of Chas.
S. Whisker, of Osalxis township, met
with an accident, Friday, that resulted
in the loss of his left eye, says the
Osakis Review.
The little boy was playing about the
house when one of the children placed
22-caibre cartridge on the kitchen
stove; the shell exploded and a piece
of the copper struck the little fellow
under the left eye. He did not appear
to be seriously injured at the time
and some home remedies were applied
to the wound. In the morning the
boy was found unconscious in bed and
DR.. 'Gilkinson was called. The lad
was removed to the Woodward hospi-
tai in Osakis, and DR.. Lewis, a ST..
Cloud specialist, was sent for. The
doctors found it necessary to remove
the eye and the little fellow is recov-
ering from the effects of the operation
and will be removed to his home. Mr..
Whisker and family had just arrived
from Brodford, ILL.,, and were moving
on to the Geo. B. Smith farm two
miles west of town that they bought
last summer. The accident is most
unfortunate and the family have the
sympathy of the community.
