March 19k About three months agb Roland Clark of Upton had the misfortune to cut his wrist with a piece of stove pipe. Tlie wound did not seem serious, but in a few days it began be-gan to pain him so badly that the doctor doc-tor was sent for and he discovered that tho man was suffering from blood poison. He then removed to Coalville, where he could be under the immediate immedi-ate care of the doctor. The affliction was so serious that It was feared the man would lose his right arm. The only way It could be saved was for tho doctor doc-tor to graft flesh on the arm. This operation oper-ation was done, in all something over SOO pieces of flesh from other men being be-ing siceessfully grafted, Mr. Clark was getting along nicely until a few days ago, when some of the grafted flesh began to peel off, and he is now suffering considerably with the wound. Mr. Clark has a family of seven small children, tho oldest being about 15. and they are in very poor circumstances. To make matters worse, the wife gave birth to a baby last Sunday, but the child lived only about twenty-four hours. Mrs. Clark seemed to be getting along very nicely until a few days ago, when she took a relapse and yesterday afternoon she died, leaving the large family of small children.
