Papers and Was Dead When Taken Out.
Associated Press Dspat;h by Special Wires
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 6.-News-
boy Alfred Siner met horrible death
while selling his papers this morning.
1t was raining hard and the boy was
running alongside of rapidly moving
cable car selling papers to passengers
who reached their money out of the
window to him, when he stepped into
pool of muddy water and slipped under
the wheels of the trailer"
The lads body was terribly mangled
and he was dead when taken out from
under the wheels. Both cars were
crowded with passengers and some of
the women tainted when they saw the
crushed and bleeding corpse Of the un-
fortunate boy.
A few years ago newsboy won
suit for $4,000 for injuries received by
being run over by Philadelphia Trac-
ton car, and since that time the COM
pany has refused to let newsboys get on
their cars to sell papers.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June c.
Michael McGowan, q banker who came
here from Butte, Mont, and was subse-
quently treated in tho City Hospital for
an liberated ankle, has begun suit
against the city for $4,000 damages.
He sues to recover for lost skin. His
claim is that the hospital surgeon placed
him under the influence of powerful
apesthetic and without his knowledge
or consent cut from his thighs seven
strips of skin, II inches wide and from
A to s inches long. His epidermis was
used in skin:grafting operation upon
the faces of Frenchman and French
woman who had been badly burned.
McGowan claims to have suffered
great mental and physical anxiety and
in his complaint recites the fact that the
Frenchman, who claims to be half
French and half Irish, has tainted him
on account of his misfortune.
