off the platform, while he opened
the door of, the shed to place the car
inside. As he was opening the door,
he heard the car move, and rushing

and as it crossed the. roadway he was

HAS FINGER AMPUTATED
A most unfortunate. accident oc
curred Saturday, of which little Miss
Doris Hayes, six year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Hayes, was
the victim. The little girl was play
ing about the farmyard of the home,
where the men were engaged in load
ngi hay into the barn, with the usual
horse and pully equipment. Thought
lessly and probably unaware of dan
ger, the little girl grabbed hold of
the moving rope attached to the hay
fork, which jerked her left hand into
the pulley, stationed on the ground,
tearing off the ring finger past the
second Joint, badly lacerating the
middle finger, and burning her right
hand in the contact with the slip
ping rope.
The child was rushed to the local
physician, where it was found neces
sary to amputate the remaining por
tion of the finger. Mrs. Frank Woods,
an aunt of Doris, assisted Dr. Kruse
with the operation, and took the
child to her home, where she is re
covering nicely from the effects of
the accident. She was very brave
throughout the irdeal and although
she suffered much pain in the am
putation of the finger and dressing
the wound, she showed remarkable
self control and unwavering courage.
The accident was a very regrettable
one, and especially so, is the loss
.of the finger.
Doris Is the youngest of the three
: children of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, who
live northeast of this city. Weep
