BOY'S FACE TORN BY NAILS


FELL FROM ROOF OF SHED AND STRUCK O NBOARD{sp} FULL OF BIG NAILS

Arthur the six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Zion, who live on West Broadway, was badly injured about the chest and face Wednesday afternoon when he fell from the roof of a woodshed where he way {sp} playing. In the fall he struck a piece of scantling leaning against the shed, in which there were some protruding nails. The sharp nails tore the flesh on his chest and caught him in the side of the face as he fell. Nineteen stitches were required to close up the wound in the side of his face, which extended from the lower part of the haw almost to his eye. The young lad is getting along very nicely and will recover if no complications follow.
