BOY SEVERELY HURT
BY AN AUTOMOBILE
Edward HannafOrd Run Over by
Two Young Men On Main
Street.

Edward Hannaford. l6 years Of age,
was run down and injured By an au-
tomobile on Main street, in front of the
Delmar lunch room. Saturday afternoon,
by two young men whose names are un-
known. The lad was riding his bicycle
straight down the street. when the au-
tomobile. which was being driven at a
rapid rate of speed, swung to one side,
and struck the bicycle. The boy was
thrown heavily to the pavement and
the automobile passed almost completely
over both himself and his wheel. The
machine, which is said to bear the num-
Der 1874. and which is alleged TO be
the property of Mrs. Eliza Hegney,
came to a stop Just long enough to per
NIT the boy TO be dragged from under
1t. This accomplished the young men
Immediately drove away at rapid rate.
The bicycle young Hanpaford was
riding was completely wrecked. the rear
wheel and framework being broken and
bent in such a way that repairs to it
were out OF the question. The boy him
self seemed for time to be uDinjured.
but, after few minutes, tainted and
was taken to his home Just how seri-
ously he was injured is not known.
The failure of the two young men
driving the machine either to ascertain
the extent of the boys injuries or to
offer settlement for the damage to his
bicycle caused a storm Of protest from
the CROWD which had gathered. The ma.
chine number was taken and several
volunteered themselves as witnesses.
The case, it is understood, will be re-
ported to the police, and the injured
lad proposes TO push the matter against
the two young men.

his children. On account of the filthy
condition in his home and the low moral
atmosphere with which the girls would
be surrounded, the request was denied.
The ends of Justice were defeated,
however, through the appointing by the
children. Farley P. Christensen. attor-
