Run DOWN
A. Painful ] hough Not Serious. Ac,
cident to Edwin Took.

Z Yesterday while returning from
school, Edwin. the little son of DR..
and Mrs: Cook. was run down by a
carriage. !. II seemed that the entire
affair was purely accidental and not
the. result of undue recklessness.
I've ladies, a gentleman and driver
were in the vehicle at the time.
This is another instance of ehiv-
airy and the cost of gallantry. A
young .lady's hat WAS blown OF and
out into the street. Edwin, seeing
Fthe hat fair and not. knowing the ap-
proach of the carriage ran after the
head gear. The horses were travel
ing at some little speed aud the driver
being so close to the Young man was
unable TO stop them before the horses
hoofs had bruised the boys head and
back and ten wheel run over his legs.
The injuries we're not serious and Ed.
win is up this morning. This in,i'
dent should be a warning TO all fas,
drivers and cabmen and though not
resulting. from gross negligence,
should serve to prove the wisdom Of q
moderate pace and, discretion of the
part of pedestrians. =
