Child Knocked Down by a Wagon.

Raymond Reardon, aged four years,
whose parents reside at 614 Minna street,
was run over by wagon on Seventh
street. near Mission, yesterday afternoon.
The little sufferer was taken to the Euer-
gency Hospital, where DIR. Murphy
dressed a deep lacerated wound of the
right leg, where the wheel of the wagon
passed over the limb. 1t is probable that
the child also received internal injuries.
