From the lake, from the seashOre,

WOMAN AND
CHILD HURT
In Runaway at Corner of
Washington Ave. and First St
BOTH ARE IN HOSPITAL
While Husband and Father Is
in City Jail.

A horse hitched TO a light top buggy
and driven by DR.. J. X. Dorsey. OF l2ii
Ida avenue, ran away on North Washing
ton avenue about o'clock yesterday
afternoon and Mrs. Dorsey is in the
Wichita hospital with her left shoulder
and arm and one rib broken and other
wise badly bruised. and their little child
is also in the hospital with a severe
wound on the head. which may result in
its death, owing to conclusion of the
brain DR.. Dorsey is locked in the city
Jail. charged with fast and reckless driv-
ing and intoxication.
Those who saw the accident say that
while coming south on Washington ave
nue. the horse. which Is a very spirited
enc. became frightened little and the
doctor began whipping it. The horse cut
by the lash dashed down the street and
turned west on First street The buggy
as it sped around the corner tipped up
on two wheels and was almost entirely
around the corner when it went over,
p4,ching the occupants into the curb.
The animal was caught by people
farther up the street The residents of
the neighborhood rushed TO the scene and
carried Mrs. Dorsey into the home Of
Frof j. z. Knight and the child into the
home of Albert Williams and physicians
were called. DR.. Dorsey seemed but lit
tie the worse for the tumble except some
slight scratches and bruises about the
head and shoulders The police were
called and they Immediately placed him
under arrest and the ambulance took the
injured woman and child to the Wichita
hospital.
Roy Riley, who lives at the southwest
corner of the two streets. saw the acct
dent and to the Eagle last night he said:
4 saw the buggy coming down the
street. The horse began TO prance about
a little and the man took out the whip
and began flashing the animal. The horse
started TO run and the man kept on whip
ping. I don't know whether the man
pulled the reiDs so that It turned the cor
ner or whether the horse ran that way
OF its own accord. AS the buggy came
around the corner it was only on two
v heels, and just as they passed the
corner the buggy went over, throwing
the man, woman and child out They
rolled around in the street a little and
some one ran out and caught the horse.
The people came running up and carried
the woman and child into the houses
and doctors were sent for. The police
came pretty soon and arrested the man
and took him and the horse away
DR.. Dorsey is a well known physician
Of this city and for number of years
lived at 1856 Ida avenue. but lately moved
to l240 Ida avenue, where they now live
he brought his wife up town yesterday
afternoon and left her at friends on
North Washington avenue and came back
after her few minutes before o'clock.
They had no sooner started from the
friends house than the horse became
frightened and it is alleged that he began
it and this caused the runaway.
The doctors feel sure Of Mrs Dorsey's
recovery, although the wounds are both
serious and painful but the child is in
4 very dangerous condition.

A Christmas Greeting.

When this issue of THE RECORD
reaches it's readers they will be in the
midst of the pleasures and festivities
of the me .ry yule-tide-that period
Of the year looked forward to by the
children with bright anticipation,
the pleasure of which is shared in no
small measure by children of a larger
growth. 1t is the season when Santa
Claus is abroad with his reindeer
and tinkling sleigh. bells, all of
which brings Joy to the heart of
the little folks; and those who are
older find equal pleasure in the
exchange of tokens of love and
affection.
But in the midst Of the joys of
Christmas We SHOULD ever bear in
mind the true significance of the
day We celebrate. On this day nearly
1000 years ago came to earth for the
redemption of mankind the only be-
gotten son of the Father, a priceless
gift to humanity: and though an
interval of centuries has elapsed this
da7 to the earnest and believing
christian will ever be one of praise
and rejoicing and of "peace and good
will toward men,"
Throughout His earthly career
the dominating influence of Christ
was love and charity, and it is be-
fitting that, especially on the day of
His birth, we should in our relations
with one another follow the example
he has LETT us.
It is not the expensive and
elaborate lift that is most worthy
of appreciation. Given in a spirit
of love and esteem the merest trlfie
becomes invested with value far
greater than the costliest present
that represents nothing beyond its
intrinsic value. Love is after all
the true philosophers stone, and
like faily's wand it transforms all
it touches into something rare and
valuable and beautiful.
The RECORD wishes its readers,
!, one all, q Christmas full of kind
thoughts and deeds, blessed with the
the happiness of mingling with
friends and relatives in the full
njosment health and good cheer.
