FREDDIE MCCALL KILLED
Fell Under a Loaded Wagon Which
 Passed Over His Head.

Freddie w. Mccall, the 5-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Mike Mccall. was run over yesterday afternoon by wagon belonging to the Alhambrt Brick company. ills head was fright fully crushed and he died instantly.
 The incident was a most pitiable one and distressing to all who were wit nesses to the grief of the parents so suddenly bereaved. The accident oc- cured early in the afternoon on Sec ond avenue near Buchanan street and in front of the residence occupied by the Mccall family. Mir. Mccall, who is employed at Bank Exchange, did not arrive till some minutes after 1t oc- cured, and in fact, the only witness to the accident was a brother Of the dead boy, who was playing with him in the road But the unharmed boy at once informed his mother, and in a mo- ment her agonizing screams drew to- rether a considerable number or neiChbors and persons who chanced to be in the vicinity. Coroner J. M. Bur nett was notified as quickly as poSsi- ble, and reached the place in company with the father of the boy. but not till a few moments after the arrival of Of ficer Russell, who was summoned by telephone.
 When Mir Russell arrived he found
  requested a neighbor to cover him with a sheet, which was done- He learned that a four-horse team driven by Mexican named Fuentes and drawing two wagons loaded with brick. had done the work but no one present seemed to know whether both wagons or only the trail wagon had passed over the child. The driver continued his way without stopping, drove on to the next street, then east a half Dlock and north again to the yard of the Electric light plant, for which his load was destined. It was there that Mr. Russell found him and brought him back to the scene of the accident and turned him over to the coroner
 The coroner in the meantime had summoned the following jurymen: Jack Buckley, w. E. Lount. J. w Blankenship, G. R. Sturtevant. J. L. Henderson and Joseph Harbinson. Fuentes told Officer Russell that he did not sec the boy till after the acci- dent. The fact that he continued and did not stop driving after the screams of the mother were plainly heard by all in the neighborhood. occasioned some comment as to his intelligence or his feeling. Messrs. Clark and O'Con- nor told the coroner they would stand good for the mans appearance at he 
 inquest, but at the suggestion of the jury, it was thought better to take the man into custody to avoid any criti- cism. and he was turned over to a dep uty sheriff.
 Dr. Walker and another physician were summoned. but their presence was unavailing the lad had been instantly killed. The remains were viewed by the jury and committed to the care of Undertaken Bradley. The inquest will be held this afternoon at the office of Justice Burnett
 The brother of the dead boy was Of course very much excited yesterday. and at the time the coroner was pres ent he could not give clear account of the accident. It is only fair to presume that no one would knowingly drive i over child, yet the boy who witnessed the circumstance. said something about l calling to Fuentes to stop. But whether it was before or after the ac- 1 cident, or whether Fuentes only | thought it the outcry of children at | play can only be determined later l The funeral will be held at the Cath olic church this afternoon at 3 o'clock. ---O-----
