BOY BADLY INJURED.
James Silver Struck by Team, Wednesday
Evening, and Skull Fractured.

A very bad accident took place, about
7.O5 Wednesday evening, at the corner Of
Bridge and Water streets. A horse driven
by Reuel J. Noyes and owned by Parker
Savage became frightened at something
and acted badly. 1t is thought the animal
was afraid or an electric car, though the
car was not in motion when the horse
approached it and not until after the
team had passed.
The animal made a break for the cor
ner near Coughlin's drug store. Here the
carriage struck James and Eddie Silver
boys and II years of age. the sons OF
Michael Silver of this city. Both were
knocked down on the paving and badly
injured. They We're picked up and re-
moved to their homes, where surgical all
was given them, Drs. Martin, Hill and
Brickett being called.
1t was found that James had sustained
a bad laceration of the scalp and a frac
turc of the skull, while the younger
brother was only badly bruised The i'll
jured boy was attended to and every at
tention given him that was possible. The
doctors said it was too early to tell what
the results might be.
The carriage that hit the boys was
badly demolished, but Mr.. Moves held tbs
horse and stopped him before he hal
reached the east end Of the Kennebec
bridge.

"of all the barking dogs l ever

merchant. yesterday. There seems to
be dozen or more dogs that have
nothing to do but run about the streets
and bark and fight. At any hour of the
day one can hear several of them run
ming about ard barking. Some of the
dogs too are very apt to chase teams
and jump at horses. There is no one
who thinks more of a dog than !, but |
believe there is a place for them. and
their masters should keep them at

cared for. Unless the master cares
for his dog. it becomes a public nui-
