From Brookings Is. d. Register.
Less than year ago little Edith
B1cknell, 5-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. L. 0. Bicknell of Brookfeld,
MO-, had no fingers. From birth her
nands had been shapeless Jumps Of
mesh, pitiful to look at and incapable
OF use. In November year ago, Edith
came to Brookings to live with her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs o. G. Bick-
nell. Today, thanks to the marvellous
feats of modern surgery, she has hands
with fingers just like other girls, and
Edith is about the happiest girl on
earth.

had little hope of having hands like
other girls Her parents had taken
her to specialists in many cities with
out encouraging results. Some ex-
pressed the opinion that something
might be done when she grew older.
Having a great deal of faith in the
Brookings hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Bick-
hell took their granddaughter there to
see if they could do anything for her.
The surgeon was called in and after
he examined the girls hands he agreed
to take the case. Little Edith was at
once overjoyed and eager to have the
doctor begin work. From the first she
was perfectly confident that the doctor
would succeed in making a new pair
of hands for her. Hers complete faith
and confidence in the ability OF the
surgeon, her eagerness to have the
operations performed and her pluck
and courage in withstanding the pain
and suffering were both touching and
remarkable. This, of course, was
great help to the surgeon and her in
plicit faith in him, made it joy to
put forth his best efforth that she
should not be disappointed.
Three separate operations were nee
essary to transform the hands. A
technical description of the operations
is beyond the limits of this article but
the story is probably best told in the
pictures accompanying. The first two
pictures were taken of Edith before
the operations and shows how her
hands appeared. One picture shows
the palms and the other the back OF
the hands. Note that there were two

The disappearance of Jorge is onr
of the strangest in the annals of Bexar

and reported the matter to the Bexnr
county sheriff's office. Deputy sheri-

through several counties and ut last
resulted in the finding Of clothing

This find resulted in the arrest of
several men. two Of whom are still in
iail. ALTHOUGH these men are alleged
to have confessed to the killing of the
