Little Girl Injured By Explosion of Percussion Cap.

The 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Greer Bunnell, Hving on the Mrs. Clapp farm a mile east of H. W. Wood’s farm, had one of her hands quite severely injured Thursday afternoon by the explosion of a percussion cap with which she was playing. A call was made to Rengselaer for a doctor, but three of them were in Lafayette and the others could not be found and Dr. Clayton, of Monon, was finally secured. He found it necessary to take off the first joint of three fingers. The child is reported to be getting along all right now.
