POSSIBLY FATAL ACCIDENT
Bicyclist Run Down on the
Boulevard.

Another accident, this time perhaps a
fatal one. occurred on the Boulevard,
near Stevens avenue, Greenville, about
one o'clock this morning. Harry Davis,
seventeen years old. of No. 1863 Garfield
avenue, was the victim. He now lies in
st. Luke's Hospital, Bayonne, suffering
from a severe scalp wound, and several
other bad cuts about the head and body.
The story given out by the police is
vague. But few details can be secured.
1t appears that young Davis was riding
towards the Bergen section, when he ran
into a farm wagon. 1t precipitated him
to the ground. He struck on his head,
sustaining a very painful injury.
Some friends who were riding with him
picked him up and took him to his home.
DR.. Kilgore of Bayonne was called to at
tend the injured lad. On the advice of
the doctor, Davis was sent to the hos
pital. The name of the driver of the
farm wagon could not be learned.

tent Of $25 this morning by a proceeding
in the Special Sessions Court. Frederick
Kruse, d boy, was on the list to be tried
for grand larceny. Assistant Prosecutor
Van Wrinkle stated to the Court that
Kruse was charged with having stolen
SIS. An unknown woman while stepping
from a trolley car at the Junction
dropped her pocketbook. A small boy
saw her drop it but was not honest
enough to restore it to the owner. While
he was reveling in anticipation Of the
glorious time he would ave with the
money, Kruse, it is alleged, came along
and took the pocketbook away from him.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle suggested that as the
owner Of the pocketbook cannot be found
Kruse be discharged on condition that he
waive all claim to the money and hat it
be turned over to the Overseer of the
Poor.
Lawyer Mccormick, who represented
Kruse. consented to- the arrangement,

pocketbook from any boy. Judge Blair
discharged Kruse and Mr.. Hewitt will get
the money.
