Thursday with a rock in the

skull was badly fractured. Sew
eral doctors were sent for at diff

all refused to operate on the boy
at the house, but insisted on
bringing him to the hospital for
free treatment, but the ignorant
and suspicious parents refused,
and he will probably die. DR..
Hood finally dressed the wound
but did not attempt to work on

A WAR ON FAITH CURISTS


the Death of Il jacksonville Boy
} B. Christie, county solicitor,
said today that he had secured
evidence, and would secure more,
to warrant arrests and prosecu-
tion OF certain parties IN connec-
tion with the death of Delano
Wood, seventeen years of age,
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. a. +.
Wood of Panama Park.
The young man was horribly
bitten on the thigh by a shark or
an alligator on the night of Au-
gusJ l5 while bathing IN Trout
creek, and died a short time af-
ter, and Judge Christie says that
he is Informed that death was
partly due to want Of proper at
tention, and a refusal TO allow
such attention as was necessary
to be given, and as the law re-
quires.
1t is alleged, the solicitor says,
that even the bandageS placed on
the wound to stop the flow Of
blood were not allowed to stay,
and this, it is thought, caused
such loss of blood as to result in
death.
The mother is a believer IN
Christian Science, ard, as is usual
with those of this faith, depend
ed on prayer to save the boy.
Several parties have urged that
legal Investigation OF this and
other cases of death be made,
and the solicitor SAID today that
he proposed to institute suit in
each and every case for man
uaghter, and with the evidence
he had and which had been prom
ised, he expected to secure con-
viction.
This action on the part of the
county solicitor will prove quite a
sensation in this state, as 1t has
no precedent IN Florida. Similar
occurrences have tran>plred in
New York and other Northern
and Eastern states with very lit
tie result, and the case here will
attract much attention.
Mrs. Wood, the mother Of the
boy, is a reader in the Christ ian
Science school IN this city, and is
a most excellent woman, and has
a host of warm, personal
friends. There is a large number
Of persons in Jacksonville who
believe IN and adhere to the doc
trlnCS of Christia d Science, and
they represent some Of the best
and most intelligent people IN the
city.-Metropolls.
