THROAT PIERCED BY IRON

Alfred Gilbertson left the mower
standing by the house at noon Mon
day; his little son Hjalmer, aged
seven, climbed into the seat. A few
moments later cries of anguish called
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbertson out to find
the boy hanging, his throat pierced
by the sharp top of the lifting lever
on the mower.
When the boy was pulled off blood
spurted from the mound, covering
both him and his father. The father
held his hand over the wound, while
Mrs. Gilbertson telephoned for the
doctor. But the doctor would have
been too late had not the father sue
ceeded in stopping the flow of blood.
AS it was the boys garments were
completely soaked, and the father
also was covered with blood.
The boy is all right now, though he
will be weak for some time.-Spring
