playing with it. Three-year-old
■Catherine Thomas was taken to
the hospital at about 4:30 yes
terday afternoon and she lost
parts of four fingers of her left
hand.
The accident occurred at the
home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Isaac Thomas, at the east
end of town. A five-year old
brother was with her at the time
but he was not injured. Little

injury to one eye, deep facial
