The little daughter of Elisha
Torian, living near Weldon, was;

in her childish ignorance touched
a match to the explosive, losing
the first joint of three fingers j
and a thumb, whose amputation
were found necessary by Drs. G. j

The little girl and her brother j
overheard some visitors telling
how the caps were used to blow
up stumps and sought to try
their hand with the above sad j
experience, though it is remark

more serious.
