ERMENE ZIMA

BOY PARALYZED WHEN HIT BY FALLING PIECE TIMBER
Mishicott Boy of 8 Victim of Accident at Home There
Erwin Zima, aged eight, is at the hospital in this city suffering
from paralysis resulting from an accident which he met with at his
home on a farm near Mishicot. The boy was struck by a falling timber
of an old building which was being torn down and though at first not
thought to have been seriously injured, a few hours later was found
to be paralyzed and was brought to the city.
The timber struck the lad in the back just below the shoulders and
physicians believe that a blood clot formed. The paralysis has not
affected the arms and upper portion of the body and the lad is able
to walk and to eat. His condition has shown little improvement.
