His Accident
BOY IS THE WORST HURT

Three automobile accidents occurred
yesterday at the corner of Fourth ave-

seriously hurt, Early in the morning W.
7. Simmons, ran into a messenger boy
named Robert Samuels and slightly in
jured him. A. J. Krebs ran into a boy at
this corner in the afternoon, but the child
was not Injured and disappeared SO
quickly that no one found out his name
Glr. E. p. Solomon ran into a fireman, Jake
Eiland, last evening at this corner and
damaged his car more than he did Jake
The Samuels boy was taken to Hardness
g. Longs infirmary, but none of the others
was hurt with the exception of a few
bruises, although both the fireman and
the unknown boy were knocked down.
The friends of Jake Eiand are having
considerable fun over his accident. Jake
was across the street looking at the bear
In front of the Blue Ribbon shoe shop
when the accident happened. Jake was
just thinking of what would happen if he
were to meet that bear in lonely wood
about 30 o'clock of a Sunday morning,
with nothing to defend himself with ex-
cept his two heels. Just as Jake's i'm
agination was picturing a battle royal
with Bruin he heard chug behind him
and looked about to see q big touring car
bearing down upon him. Jake immediate
ly came to his senses and jumped straight
into the air just as the car was about to
hit him. He did not jump high enough
however, and his legs hit the fender of
the car, badly bending the fender and
laying Jake out on the asphalt like a
fence rail. Jake wasn't hurt scratch
but many were the calls received at the
fire department last night asking about
the health of the fireman who was hur
in the automobile accident.

Accounts of the affair. which was wit

that Mr. Simmons was driving very slow

The collision resulted and the boy was
knocked to the ground and considerably
bruised. He was taken at once to the
infirmary- and given medical treatment
Mr. Simmons accompanied the boys
