Hand Badly Lacerated.

The twelve year old grandson of Joseph Pollock, north of Rensselaer, had the index finger and thumb of his right hand torn off today by the ex[tlosion of a dynamite cap. The est hand and his body were also slightly injured. It is thought that he must have been playing with the cap when the accident occurred. He was at a neighbor’s house When hurt and ran a mile to his home before receiving attention. His wounds were taken care of by one of the Rensselaer surgeons. The lad was taken to the hospital and is reported to be resting very nicely.
