Show Loses a Hand for Fun. Special to Tho Tribune. SPRING VILLE, Aug, 20. Merrill Cran-dall, Cran-dall, tho 15-year-old son of Edwin Cran-dall, Cran-dall, will probably lose a hand from tho effects of having -a little fun with giant powder caps. Ho had a number of the caps, which ho was lighting with a short fuse and throwing into the swimming pool. Ho evidently cut the fuse too short on the fourth one that he prepared, as it exploded before he could throw It into the water. Tho result was that the thumb and three lingers wcro blown from his right hand and the wnolo hand was so badly mangled that It may have to be amputated. The boy was taken to the general hospital at Provo as soon as posslblo after the accident. |
