A FORMER TOwANDA LAD INJURED. We
find the following in the Elmira Free Press
of Wednesday evening:
Walter Scott Stoll, the youngest son of Geo.
G.. StOl, was run over this morning by team
drawing a load of straw. He with Il number
of other children was playing in the street
near his home when the accident happened.
1t does not seem possible that the driver of
the team saw him. DR.. j. e. Weaver was
summoned and upon examining the lad dis
covered that his collar bone was broken, sew
eral ribs fractured and such severe internal
injuries sustained that it is very doubtful that
the child lives. 1t is astonishing that he was
not killed instantly, as both the forward and
hind wheels of the wagon passed over his body.
