William Ewart Gladstone Con-
Toy,' aged 2 years, youngest son of
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Conroy, is the
victim of a budding young surgeon
in the person of the 4-year-old son
of L. Mickelson. Tuesday after
noon the children were playing in
the Conroy woodshed, when the
little Mickelson boy took an axe
and nearly severed one of William
Ewart Gladstone's best fingers.
When questioned by his father, the
chopper said he told his little play
mate two or three times to take his
finger out of the way, but he
wouldn't do it. However, the digit
was stuck back into place and will
probably . iii time become just as
good as anybody's finger.
