is HORRIBLY MANGLED
Little Son OF Z. E Jacobs is
the Victim.
Arising From Play in the Street
the Little one Tries to Rua Across
the Track aud is Killed.

While playing in the street in
front of his home on Davids street,
Gerald, the four year old son of Nj.
and Mrs. G.. T.. Jacobs, tried to run
across in front OF a north bound city
car and was run down and most
instantly killed Monday afternoon
at 4:30 O'Clock.
Aside from the motorman Walter
Parratt, and the conductor William
Dawson, who we're in charge Of car
No, $40 there were only three eye
witnesses to the accident. The mo-
torman perceived the child playing in
the road but he states that it was
nearer TO the gutter than to the
tracks and he did not slacken the
speed OF his car. When the car was
but short distance away and travel
ing at a fast rate of speed the child
leaped up from the dust and with a
scared look on its face started to
run across the tracks to the house
The motorman applied the brakes
but there was no chance TO stop the
car and the infant was knocked
down and crushed beneath the
wheels, the entire car passing over
its body.
The little brother of the unfortu-
nate boy was sitting on the porch of
the Jacobs home. He did not see his
brother and thought that the car had
struck stone. The mother heard
the boys yell and rushed frantical-
ly out of the house. Seeing her
child stretched across the east rail
and in a mangled condition she rush
ed to the street and tried to gather
the mangled little body up in her
arms. With its golden curls cover
ed with blood but its pretty face
without a bruise, the child lifted its
eyes TO the mother and gasped,
"Mama, I'm hurt" Life was extinct
almost Immediately after.
The Hess and Markert ambulance
was called and Dr. E. L. Brady,
the coroner was summoned after IL
was certain that the child was dead.
The coroner who has been i'll for
the past month with typhotd fever
and was brought 20 the scene by
DR.. f. b. Sawyer.
II was found that the right leg
Vfa off
left leg was badly fractured and
bruised. The right arm was severed
at the elbow and the left arm was
hanging by a shred. The injuries TO
the breast and abdomen were quite
severe and many bones were broken
Within few minutes after the ac-
cident occurred large crowd had
gathered in front OF the JACOBS home
Many arrived Immediately after the
ear had struck the child and the
coroner was unable TO get a fair Idea
of the manner in which the child
met his death The car waited but
few miputes and then proceeded on
its way down town. At the Center
street switch Motorman Parratt ask.
ed for and received relief, The shock
had been so great that he was unable
to continue his duties.
It has been prophesied many times
by motorman and passengers who
occasionally ride on Davids street
that an accident similar to this one
would occur. 1t is a common pract-
ice fer children to play in the street
aud IL is stated that m9ny times
there f~e dozens of youngsters run

points on the street where II is
