Heavy Wheels of An
Ice Wagon Pass
Over His Body.
SHOCKING SCENE At NOON HOUR.
No Bones Were Broken
Though William Sullivan
Is Badly Injured.

Spencer, Sept. ga serious accident
occurred at the noon hour today on
Irving street The victim is William
Sullivan, pupil in the Grove street
public school, the 12-year-old son of
Thomas Sullivan.
The boy, in company with a few of
his friends, attempted to steal a ride
on the heavy ice cart owned by L. D.
Bemis. The boys were eager to secure
foothold on the cart and tumbled all
over themselves to reach the footboard
In the mixup, the Sullivan boy was
pushed beneath the heavy ice cart. The
forward wheels passed over the little
fellows body
John Pye, the driver of the cart, pick
ed the boy up in a semi conscious con-
uftion, and carried him to his home. DR..
o. r. Wheeler was summoned, and
passed an examination. The physi-
clan could discover no broken bones,
but the little fellow suffers intense pain
and it is feared that the boy is in
lured internally. DR.. Wheeler admin
lstered oDiates to relieve the sufferings
Of the little fellow. He can probably
determine tomorrow the exact ex-
tent of the injuries received.
Parents of children who attend the
North Spencer school have complained
~ the school committee about the pres
vpoe of so many large trees. In fact,
the density Of the forest obscures the
building from the highway. The com
mittee considered the grounds of the
complaint well taken, and proceeded
to remove the trees by cutting them
down. Hardly had the axe entered
tree No. before there was trouble. A
farmer residing in the vicinity appeared
on the scene, and forbade the woodman
from proceeding further with his muir
derous axe, on the ground that the
property belonged to him. The wood
man desisted, and for a time the trees
will remain. In the meantime, an in
vestigation will be pursued to deter
mine the ownership of the land, and, if
the town owns 1t, down will come the
objectionable trees.
