 The little boy was at play with the younger members of his family Thurs day afternoon at the ranch home and in some way put the needle in his mouth demonstrating with the lad for his tactics of play with the others, the mother. unknowing Of the needle s presence. playfuily showed him along with broom.
 The lad gulped once or twice and then in response to his mothers query, told of the mishap. At first the needle l lodged in the throat but moment later went on down and thus far the boy has appeared none the worse off. He was rushed to town but physicians ad- Nised against an operation and the needle will be left to work it's own way back into the world
