fatal, VIII result in permanently disligur-
ing him. string of eight whee,men were
riding around the track against time. The
boys were going at two-minute clip when
the wheel ridden by Wood, who was third
from the rear. snapped at the joint where
the front forks converge. Wood was
thrown fully fifteen feet and struck
squarely on his face, breaking out nearly
all his teeth and badly shivering the
jawbone. George Peters, who was one of
the riders and the first to the rescue, found
the young man unconscious and almost
strangled with blood, which gushed from
the wounds in stream and filled his
throat. An express wagon was secured
and Wood was conveyed to his parents
home. corner of Fourth and French
streets, where restoratives were admin
istered. and he finally regained conscious
ness, though not until an hour after the
accident. Several of Woods teeth were
found where he fell attached to the gums
and portions of the jawbone. 1t is
thought his injuries will not prove fatal
though the physicians had not made a
thorough examination when this report
