BOY BADLY HURT

William, the 14-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. E. Belue, suffered a
severe accident Monday while assist
ing in driving livestock near the east
end stockyards. The lad was bare
footed and stepped upon broken
bottle, with the result that a. deep
cash several inches in length was
cut in his left foot. The laceration
extended entirely across the bottom
of the lads foot, and hea suffered
greatly from the loss of blood. His
condition was discovered by Roy Tay-
Tor, who summoned Charles Baldwin,
who was near at hand, and they took
the situation at once. The blood, ow-
ing to the weight of the boys body,
simply seemed to gush from the
wound. He was placed in the auto
mobile of Mr.. Baldwin and hurried
to the Office of DIR. Sandlin, where the
wound was dressed. 1t may be that if
the ligaments in the bottom of the
foot are entirely severed, the boy will
be rendered a permanent cripple.
