COUNTRY BOY
HIT BY A TRAIN
LOUISVILLE LAD INJURED.
FRED MURPHY HURT IN CENTRAL
OF GEORGIA YARDS.

boy Only IA or IL Years of Age Is
at the Savannah Hospital Pain
fully Injured and None of His
Relatives Have shown Up-Says
He Was Getting Out of the Way
of One Train, when Another Hit
Him.
Stepping out of the way of a switch
engine in the Central Railroad yards
early last night, Fred Murphy, boy
only IA or 10 years of age, who lives
at Louisville, Ca, was struck by in
coming passenger train No. 2 and Sc
riously, though not fatally, injured.
Neither the engineer nor anyone on
the train, knew the lad had been hurt
and no stop was made. He was found
short time afterwards by Car In
spector Salon, who was making his
rounds in the yard. The boy was car
ried to the Central Station and the
police ambulance was hurriedly called.
He was sent to the Savannah Hos
pital, where he was given medical at
tention.
The accident is a rather mysterious
one. No one witnessed it and exactly
how it happened is not known. The
railroad authorities, however, think
the boy stepped or fell against the
side of the train. They say If he had
been struck by the engine, he would
probably have been killed, or more Sc
riously injured.
n a
has made is that he was walking on
the tracks and in getting out of the
way of one train was struck by an
other. When found in the yards it was
not known who he was or how the
accident had happened. He gave his
name and said his father was w. S.
Murphy of Louisville. He did not ex-
plain about the accident except to say
in avoiding being struck by a train
on one track he was caught by the
other.
What the boy was doing in the
yards of the railroad is not known.
So far no relatives of the lad have
turned up When the accident was
first reported it was thought he may
have fallen from the incoming train,
but in view of his statement this OF
course, could not be true. Even the
boys presence in the city is unex-
planned. 1t is supposed he must have
come to the carnival.
Young Murphy was hurt about the
face and nose, and also about the
knees. DR.. w. H. Elliott, who attend
ed him, had to take a number of
stitches both in the nose and knees.
The injuries are not dangerous,
though they are very painful. lmme-
diateiy after the accident he limped a
short distance.

WILL CHANGE KEYS
TO FIRE BOXES.

Fire box keys will probably be
changed, because the key of Mounted
Officer Clark would not work early
Wednesday morning. when the stable
OF Herman T. Kuck was on fire.
Finding that his key would not open
the box, the mounted officer started at
a. gallop to the nearest fire station, but
before he had gone any distance
Sergeant Murphy appeared on the
scene and turned in the alarm with
his key.
The keys now in use are of soft brass
and are easily worn. When worn they
will not omen the boxes. Patrolmar
Clark's KEY which had been carried
for some time had been worn away in
places by contact with other keys or
I. his ring.
Either solid keys will be obtained oil
a KEY will be placed in every box, sc
that anyone may send in an alarm
The latter plan will doubtless bt
adopted. The matter was called to tn,
attention of the Mayor yesterday.

BOYS CHURCH CLUB
IS ORGANIZED AGAIN.
Trinity Boys VIII Have Gymnasium
and Indoor Sports.


The Boys Club of Trinity Methodist
Church was reorganized last night at
an enthusiastic meeting of the boys
of the church, and active fall work
will begin at once.
There were about sixty boys at the
meeting and all displayed great en-
thusiasm in the work. The club was
in existence last fall and winter and
did valuable work, but during the
summer the work was dropped. The
of Trinity Church physically, mental
ly and morally. Wholesome amuse-
ment, both intellectual and physical
| are to be provided.
Over the Sunday-school room of the
| church is a large hall, which has been
| fitted out as a gymnasium. Here the
boys will take regular exercises daily
A series of social meetings and lee
lures are also to be arranged. The
| object of the organization is to inter-
est the boys in helpful anusements
and to keep them off the streets and
away from places where they might
come under baneful influences.
Rev. j. A. Smith was elected the
| president of the club and Mr.. Fred j
| Pape secretary. The club will be di-
vided into two bodies, junior and Sc.
NOR The junior club will use the
gymnasium in the afternoons and the
seniors at night. Basket and hand
| ball and all the indoor sports are to
| be INDUCED in. Mr.. Smith, the presi-
| dent, thinks the club will accomplish
a great deal of good.
