INDIAN BOY HAS
BAD EXPERIENCE
IN KUSKO WILDS
Living in a tent on the shores of the
Kuskokwim river for thirteen days
with a great hole in his leg, the re
sult of the accidental discharge of a
shotgun at close range, was the ex
perience of an Indian boy twelve
years of age who arrived recently at
Bethel, where the injured leg was am
putated just above the ankle by Dr.
Firestone, formerly in charge of the
Bureau of Education hospital at Ak
iak.
Mrs. Herron, widow of the late dep
uty marshal at Bethel, who was a
nurse before her marriage, took the
youth in charge after the operation,
remained with him through the long
watches while life hung by a slender
cord. Infection had set in before the
boy reached the doctor but it is thot
now his life can be saved.
The delay in reaching Bethel was
lue to the fact that the accident oc
curred shortly before the breakup- and
t was impossible to carry the lad
jverland, or move him down to Beth
el by boat, the river being filled with
ce. When he finally reached the set
ement, the leg was in a terrible coa
lition. The shot almost took the
oot off.—Anchorage Alaskan.
