SKULL FRACTURED
BY STREET GAR.
Mildred Pctross, Nine Years
Old, in Critical Condition at
Memorial Hospital.
ALL CHURCH HILL EXCITED
Mothers Frantic, and Mrs. Pc
tross Went Finally to Hospi-
tai to Have Fears Verified.

While crossing the tracks near the
corner of Venable and Mosby Streets
last night at $50 o'clock, Mildred
Petross. the nine-year -old daughter of
Mrs. Minnie Petross, Goa Buchanan
street. was struck by lakewood and
Main Street car No. 313. of the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company.
Her skull was fractured just over the
left eye. and at the Memorial Hos
pital. where she was carried last night,
but little hope for her recovery was
entertained.
The child was sent across the street
to make purchase for her mother.
and from those who saw the accident,
she must have almost walked into the
car. She was picked up and carried
to nearby confectionery store. and
DR.. a. B. Cosby, who happened to be
near at the time, administered prelim-
mary treatment, and had her sent as
quickly as possible to the Memorial.
Girl Not Known at First.
At the time no one knew who the
5little girl was She was unconscious
when picked up, and none OF the by
ISLANDERS seemed to know anything
about her. She was hurried OF to the
hospital, and the police Immediately
notified. From all portions of the city
people came IN and telephoned, think
Ing that perhaps she was some child
known to them. Finally her mother,
having heard OF the accident. reached
the hospital, where she spent the night.
The car was In charge of Motorman
G. o. Allen and Conductor NJ. F. Lilies.
who after making the necessary re-
ports to the ,police and authorities of
the railroad, continued Their run. No
blame is attached to the crew of the
car. and it is probable that no arrests
will be made unlest the child dies.
At the Memorial last night it was
said the girl was in q very critical
condition. though there was some hope
that she might recover. Just at this
time IL is impossible for the doctors
to say what the result of her injuries
will be. One of the physicians who
made q preliminary examination, said
that she probable would recover If
she could be kept alive as long as
three DAYS.
