was ascertained after a thorough ex-
animation had been made of the in
jured optic by a local specialist. 1t is
said that the youth may eventually re-
gain d partial vision OF the injured eye
but present indications are that his
sight may be totally destroyed. The
accident occurred Saturday wher
lGriesenbach and q number OF COM
panions were playing "mumbly-peg.'

being hurled into the air and seeking
to make the point Of the blade stick In

struck him directly in the left eye, the
sharp blade cutting deep cash in the
eye ball.
