    3. FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, September 1, 1916 BADLY INJURED Clell Riney, a lad of 13 or 14 years, met with a frightful injury Friday afternoon at the home of Tim McCarthy, while he was assisting his brother, who drives the auto delivery for the Klein Grocer Co. The lad had carried an order into the McCarthy home, and was running in order to save every possible moment, as Saturday deliveries for this store necessitates speed. There is a shoe scraper near the door, and the walk being rather slick, the lad fell as he was attempting to step over the scraper, catching his left leg on one of the sharp projecting prongs of the scraper, and almost tearing the entire calf of the leg loose. The leg was frightfully torn, but prompt attention from a surgeon soon had it properly dressed, and the lad is now getting along remarkably well, and the prospects are good for his early recovery from his injury.
