BOY HORRIBLY HURT
Leg Caught Between Wagon Wheel
and Projection and Crushed

A serious accident occurred this forenoon
in front of the home of Mr.. j. T. Coghill.
No. 116 X street northwest as a result of
two small boys attempting to jump on a
heavily-laden wagon. One of them Ed
ward Sheridan, twelve years CID, of 11l6 9Th
street northeast, was badly hurt The lads
foot caught in one of the hind wheels and
carried against projection with such force
that his foot and part of his leg were
ground to pieces.
Mr.. Coghill, who is telephone operator
at police headquarters, called to the driver
and the latter stopped him team. The driver
knew nothing of the presence of the boys
nor of the accident until he stopped his
horses The boys leg was so tightly wedg-
ed in the wagon that the heavy vehicle had
to be raised before the victim could be ex-
tricated.
Although the boy had been so seriously
injured he did not lose consciousness nor
did he even have fainting spell. He was
taken to the Sibley Hospital in a buggy by
Mr. Coghill and Mr.. Lee, superintendent
OF. the Washington Traction Company's
electric lines. On the way to the hospital
the boy anxiously inquired If he had been
fatally injured and he seemed greatly re-
lieved when told that he would get well.
