  	From the Winona Herald-Republican: "Otto Thurow, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Thurow, living at 625 West Horward street, nearly lost his right ear as the result of playing with a topedo. The torpedo was of the railroad variety used in warning trains. The boy picked it up on his way home and then tried to open it with an axe. The result was that when he struck it out in the barn it exploded and the axe was thrown back and cut off his ear with the exception of a narrow strip of flesh, and he was thrown into a corner of the barn. Prompt medical attendance was given the lad, seventeen stiches were used in replacing the ear, and it is hoped it will grow back all right."

  		Otto Thurow 1915 From page 21a in Hildred's album I believe this is Otto from an 8mm movie that was taken in Fresno, CA, by R.H. Wilson, Sr., on a trip in 1937. In that film Otto is shown wearing the same kind of cap and his features look similar.
