The finger was ground up to the hand, and though the press had to be stopped and turned back before the finger Owuld be released, the little fellow never flinched but stood the pain bravely. The finger was terribly lacerated and the bones crushed, but Dr. Brevard, who attended the case, thinks that amputation will not have to be resorted to. Out at the baseball ground. Mr John Withers poon tried to stop a hot ball and waa painfully hurt. The ball struck the -end of one of his fingers, tearing away ; the entire nail and badly splitting the finger.
