Little Samuel Boy Not Yet Ready to Leave Hospital.

Little Thomas Samuel, the 6-year-old son of Willis Samuel, residing 4 miles north of Remington, is still confined in St Elizabeth’s hospital in Lafayette. His mother is assisting in caring for him. Some three weeks ago the little fellow was in an automobile with his father and other members of the family on their way to Indianapolis on a pleasure trip. At 9th and Columbia streets in lAfayette Mr. Samuels’ car colided with a street -car and little Thomas was thrown out and one wheel of the street car passed over his right hand. He was taken to the hospital and it was-expected that it would be necessary to amputate the hand altogether. By careful surgery, however, the index finger and part‘of the second finger were saved. The other fingers and the thumb are gone. The little chap will be brought to his home, it is probable, in a few days..
