Mother Amputates Arm of Her Child

Mother Amputates Arm of Her Child.
Pierre, S. d., Oct. 8.-Mrs. J. B.
Clarkson of Harding county was
forced to decide whether to ampu-
tate the arm of her little daughter or
allow the child to suffer with her
arm crushed in the machinery of a
power washing machine until she
could go long distance for help.
She decided that as the arm was
so badly mangled that it would have
to be cut off she would perform the
operation.
With the implements at hand, she
cut the suffering child loose, and
hurriedly getting team ready, took
her to the nearest physician, where
the injured stump was properly cared
for.
The child had been left alone in g
shed where a power washing ma
chine was running, and, becoming
frightened at a dog, attempted to &c
around the machine and her arm
caught in the cogs.

 ! A New Britain team which faced the juvenile quintet in the second pre- iminary was defeated by 8 score o1 ten to nine, while Bristol boys who met another Plainville five in the cur tain raiser won out twenty to eight.

 Fell Into Brook.
 While the mercury hovered around the zero mark in the thermometers and the wind howled through the trees. Barney Mason, Plainville's leading disciple of Isaak Walton, started out with some friends on a fishing trip last evening, meeting with an experience before his return which he. is not anxious to repeat.
 Mason was wading through a brook near Southington, welding his spear as members of the f1nny tribe got in the glare of his lanterns rays, when he tripped over a branch of a tree which had dropped into the water, and fell into the stream.
 He had to walk over a mile through the woods before he could reach shel- ter. Despite the severity of the weather, Mason was seemingly none the worse today for his experience.
 Icemen Are Happy.
 While Plainville people, caught in the grip of the cold wave, the most severe of the winter, were sticking as close as possible to the stoves and radiators the ice dealers were wear ing smile of contentment today, King Frost having dispelled their fears of an ice shortage.
 Most of the dealers had arranged several days ago to start the annual harvest, but the warm spell of last week interfered with their plans and for time gave them visions of empty repositories at a time when their pro- duct would be in the greatest de- mand.
 At White Oak this morning large force started harvesting the first crop of the season. Farmers at Scott's Swamp were also busy getting in a supply for their personal use, and at Leland Hart's and George Bryant's ponds there was considerable activ- ity in preparation for the cutting of the ice.

LIBERALS TAKE HEART.

Berlin, Aug. 23.-The liberal press
points out as significant feature OF
Tuesdays session OF the main commit
tee Of the reichstag Chancellor Mich
aelis' statement that the government
would not take final action on the
papal peace note without consulting
and advising with the committee. This
is being received as pledge that the
government henceforth intends to col
laborate with the reichstag factions In
dealing with the chief problems of the
nations foreign policy and that 1t
would continue to work in harmony
with the committee in the direction OF
achieving a peace Of reconciliation
and mutual understanding.
pAN-GERMANs ANXIOUS.
While the chancellors informal state
ments and specific reference to the
papal peace note are in keeping with
expectations 1t is not likely that the
vatican's message will prove the basis
of an extended debate on war aims
during the committees present sitting
at which the issues Of parliamentary
reforms are equally certain to be dis
cussed.
The ultra conservative and pan.
German press continue to view the
papal note with plain spoken suspicion
and warn against Offering the reich.
stag coalition parties an opportunity
to influence the governments attitude.
