Drove Head of Nail Through Finger—Difficult to Release.

Lowell, Ind, Oct. B.—Earl Bailey, son of Charles Bailey, living in West Creek township, met with a peculiar but.,painful accident Monday. He was driving a nail in a board and In some manner got his middle finger between -the head of the nail and the hammer, which came dowjn on the finger with such force as to drive the head of the nail clear through the fleshy part of the finger, holding him impaled to the board. He called to tps mother for help She brought a pair of snips with which she cut the nail in two next to the board. The nail was then pushed upward Until the head could be caught with the snips and drawn out. The young man stood the painful ordeal heroically.
