Montague Boyd, the nineteen months
old son of Sergeant H. w. Boyd, who
lives at S015 Anderson street, fell from
high chair last night and was hurt seri-

had just finished his supper, and was
playing about the table. He climbed back
into his chair and as he went to sit down

set in, Sergt. Boughn fears that the
fall may prove serious
