 The automobile owned and driven by Edward H. Buffunn, while coming in the direction of Dixon square. street near the junction of Elm in front of the Kinney store. The three girls are Annie. Agnes and Sarah Shaw, age three, five and seven years respectively. daughters of MT. and Mrs. David W. Shaw, who reside in the house next the Kinney store. The children were cut and bruised. Sarah's principal injury being to her left hand and arm, and Agnes was cut in the right thigh. Annie, the youngest was the most severely injured and was un- conscious when picked up and re- mained in that condition for over an hour. She received two severe cuts in the head and it is thought she sus- tained internal injury, the extent of which cannot be definitely determined at present.

His automo- bile was moving at a moderate speed and after striking the girls the ma chine was stopped within its length. Agnes and Sarah were thrown to one side when struck by the automobile, INlt Annie was thrown under the ma Chine but fortunately none of the wheels passed over her.

Buffum, and as the automobile approached they ran from behind the ice wagon directly in front of the automobile. It was an ac- cident that could not possibly be avoided by MT. Buffum. Drs. John CShamplin and William A. Hiflard were as quickly as possible and gave attention to the injured children Last night Annie showed no signs of improvement and received the almost constant attention of one of the phys icians
