Young Jones was in the mill when a friend playfully pushed him. His head hit against a carder and a bad gash was inflicted. The young boy shortly afterwards contracted erysipelas and his head is now swollen to almost twice its natural size. His eyes are swollen shut and his condition is very critical indeed.
