WILL LOST SIGHT OF ONE EYE AS THE RESULT OF ACCIDENT

William Richardson has lost the sight of his right eye as the result of an accident received some time ago while opening a small can of molasses. The lid of the can flew off, striking him in the face and cutting a gash in his eyeball. At first it was thought that the accident would not affect his vision permanently, but the eye has grown constantly weaker until now there is practically no chance of the sight being retored.
