While coasting on Washington street
hill, Paul Armstrong, the oldest san of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. c. Armstrong, sus-
tains severe Injuries 10 his left side as
result of a collision with u tree while
going at an express train speed. Mr..
Bronson's prompt action IN getting the
boy home WAS probably responsible TO a
considerable degree for his present
promising condition. Mr.. Maxson. the
gymnasium instructor, attributes Paul s
escape to the alertness gained In his
sym drilI. arzsseia he claims prompted
him to turn his head and thus avoid
q more serious disaster. As it was, he
was struck IN the left shoulder, which.
though t had been once previously
broken. was not dangerously injured.
