turned to his home here. He will be
unable to be about his usual activi
ties for some time as a result of the
unfortunate occurrence, however.
Koss had Just sharpened his axe
and went into the yard to try out the
keen blade on a load of wood. The
heavy rains had caused a muddy
condition in the yard, so he put on a
pair of arctics before leaving the
house. One of the first swings Of
the axe'niissed its mark and it went
through the arctic, a heavy shoe, a
fotrk and bulged in his foot. He threw
the axe aside and hurried to the
house where the aid of a doctor was
secured. The injured member was
found to be in a serious condition and
his removal to the hospital was found
ad visable.
When brought to the hospital it was
first believed that several toes and
possibly the whole foot might be am
putated since the axe had almost com
pletely taken off two of the toes
while a third toe was badly cut. A
deep gash almost severed the foot
at the instep. The foot, however, re
sponded to treatment and but two
toes were amputated. It is not ex
pected that further amputations will
be found necessary, although the
member will be under treatment for
several months.
