Two--year--old Lake County Boy Has Almost Miraculous Billy Finley, 2 year old son of George Finley, living on the Carl Buehler farm in Fla Towaship, four miles from Barrington, LAke County, was shot through the head a few days azo. and lives. The bullét, Sred by Roscoe Fin-- ley, 13 year old uncle of Billy, en-- tered the cranium immediately in front of the left ear and-- came out behind the right ear. The bullet presumably passed between the pal-- ate and the base of the brain, avoid-- ing a vital spot with the accuracy skilled surgeon directed by an X--ray plate. A ariance of a hair's breadth in the course of the bullet wou!d have caused instant death. Aszs it is, Billy is playing around the yard and a physician who examined him again reports that he appedrs none the worse for the accident.
