FARMER LAD IS DRAWN
INTO MANURE SPREADER
Six-Year-Old Axel Thorson Has
Narrow Escape.-Badly
Lacerated

Little Axel Thorson. the six year
old son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Thor
son, was very severely hurt and had
very narrow escape from fatal injury
in manure spreader on his fathers
farm east of Willmar last Saturday.
1t seems that the boy had come in
close proximity to the spreading de-
vice just at the time his father start
ed the spreader. The pegs on the
cylinder caught the little fellow in
the sleeve of his coat and drew him
up over into the machine. The fact
that the spreader had not attained full
speed enabled the father to stop quick
ly or the boy would have met a worse
fate.
The injured lad was taken to the
Willmar Hospital and his injuries at
tended to. He is badly cut in the
head, shoulder and arm. 1t was thot
at first that the arm would have to
be amputated but at this writing Axel
is doing very nicely and will recover.
