Yesterday afternoon the tank that is filled
with water for the sprinkling carts on

was filed for the first time this season. A
little daughter of Mr.. O'Neil, 225 Vaughan

along and the horses SHE'D, seeing the
streams from the tank. At the same time
the little girl ran in front of the horses at
tached to the car and stopped In the middle
of the car track. The driver set his brake
with all his might and at the same time
pulled his horses apart so that the little cir

partly over the child. but the wheels did not
strike as she remained midway between
them. The brake rod caught her dress and
dragged her along few feet, bruising her
face badly. DIR. Gordon was called as soon
as possible. He found that no bones were
broken, but the little one was so severely in
jured about the head that death ensued dur.
