He was taken to Victoria Hospital, London, by a passing motorist and given medical aid immediately, but Dr, A. H. Laid- law, surgeon in attendance, fidund it necessary to amputate the four fing­ ers and palm of the right hand in order to insure recovery.

THROWN UNDER WHEEL OF HEAVY TRATOR ■Mr. Fred .Dawson, of the 7th con­ cession of Usborne, had his collar­ bone fractured in three places and three ribs broken on Tuesday of last week when he was thrown be­ neath the wheels of a heavy tract­ or. Mr, Dawson was plowing with the tractor and it was getting late and he had an extra round to go. The governors were not working properly and Mr, Dawson stopped the tractor and instead of going around the machine he leaned out over the big wheel when the tractor started forward and he was thrown to the ground the wheel passing over one side of his body. Fortun­ ately he kicked himself free o£ the plow. In spite of his serious injur-? ies he was able to reach the house a short distance away and Dr. Gra­ ham, of town, was summoned to dress the wounds. Mr. Dawson’s sister, a trained nurse, is waiting on him, and although he has suffered considerably he is getting along nicely. The accident is especially unfortunate in view of the fact that only a few weeks previous Mr. Daw­ son’s fine barn was destroyed by fire caused by lightning.
