CHILD SERIOUSLY HURT
Knocked Down in the Street by
Horse Ridden by Boy.
COLLAR BONE AND ARM BROKEN
Youthful Rider Of Animal Distressed at Con-
sequence Of Reckless Riding
Another Child Hurt.

Two accidents occurred in the fam
ily of Mr. George G. bilmer. OF 40
w. Martin street, Wednesday by which
two OF his children were injured, one
Of whom NAV die. In the morning
about O'Clock. Clyde the 2-year-old
child, fell from the second story win.
dow and received very bad bruise
on the face. He was leaning out OF
the window and indeavoring to see
farther up the street. lost his balance
and fell to the ground, considerable
distance. But other than a bruise
on the face he received no injuries,
which is certainly miracle.
The family had no more than re-
covered from the shock of one OF the
children being injured when Mary,
their 4-year-old child, was carried
home in a very critical condition. she
having been run over by Mr.. III. p.
Thorn's pony at the corner of Martin
and Raleigh streets.
The child had been to the home of
Mrs. May, near Feiler's store, and was
returning home when the accident hap
pened. She was crossing the street
and it seems that neither she nor the
rider of the pony, who was Mr..
'Thorn's nephew, saw one another un-
til il was too late to stop the animal.
The pony struck her with it's front
foot, knocking her down and in pass
ing over her stepped on her left shout
der. 1t is thought that she would have
been more seriously injured, had she
not been pulled from under the pony's
feet by Mrs. May. who had followed
her to the crossing.
She was taken to her home and med
ical aid summoned. Drs. Snodgrass
and Sperow answered the summons,
and made an examination. 1t was
found that her left arm and shoulder
bone were broken, besides having an
ugly bruise on her side. The doctors
decided that the injuries would not
prove fatal unless the bruise ON the
side would develop to internal injury.
The broken bones were set by the
physicians this morning, and the child
is doing remarkable we'll for the inju-
ries that she received.
The cause of the accident is chiefly
due to the recklessness of the rider OF
the pony. but he says that he did not
see the child until it was too late to
stop, and expressed his sympathy to
the family for being connected with
the accident.
