FOUR YEAR OLD LAD HAS
FINGERS TORN OFF IN PULLEY

This has been a week of misfortunes
and one of those to suffer was Harry
e. ByerruH, Jr., four year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry E. Byerrum of
California Mesa. Saturday, while
playing about whero hay was being
stacked, the little fellow found the
sinuous cable of the stacker too fas-
cinating and not realizing the danger
grasped it with his chubby hand. In
stantly it was carried into the pulley
and in his fright he attempted to re-
lease it by putting the other one in.
His father and ceveral assistants
heard his screams and tsopped the
team at once, and he was brought to
the Delta hospital where it was
found necessary to amputate three fin
gers from the left hand and two from
the right. Both thumbs are left and
the index finger and little finger on
the right hand and the index finger
with the thumb on the left.
The little fellow is quite comfort
able and insists that he believes the
lost digits will grow on again.

II would seem almost superfluous
to make such an announcement as the

the advent of Mr.. ForsytheI the owner

usual the kids are having the time of

this season and is better equipped to
to handle his patrons. The old style

new model with inside drive engine,
