With the days fishing ended a little
before s clock at night, and with 10
cents in his pocket. Wilford asked
George to go home with him on the car.
The two lads boarded the next incom
ing car, but when the trolley had
reached a point near Tenth South and
Seventh East streets, Wilford fell or
was crowded off. In his half delirium
the injured lad subsequently said that
the conductor had accused him and
George of beating their way and
had thrown him off The BOYS know
neither what number the car bore nor
who constituted the crew No one else
has so far appeared who knows any
thing about this, but the fact remains
that Wilford Ramsay is now in a serl-
Gus condition.
1t was nearly 9 clock before the
injured boy was discovered and picked
up, a crumpled, bleeding bundle, He
was carried to the residence Of DR.. Da-
vid Andrew. 2404 South Seventh East
street, and temporary aid given him
pending the Doctors arrival. When DR..
Andrew examined the wounds he de-
cided TO give them attention on the
spot without waiting to carry the lad
to hospital, He worked on the little
chap until about 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. closing two great gashes in
the scalp with thirty stitches and 9th

weak from profuse bleeding before hav-

thetlc was administered bu$ the lad
came through the ordeal in fairly good
condition, considering the circum
stances.

Extent of Injuries.

Dr. Andrew said last night that one
scalp wound extended forward on the
top of the head three inches from the
apex. Another three-cornered wound
was found in the back Of the head
Both cuts exposed the skull, the bones
of which had been scraped in the in
Fiction of the injuries. After the
wounds had been cleansed and closed
with thirty stitches the boy was re-
moved to the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs, John Ramsay, sos South
Eighth East street, where he is now be-
ing attended by DR. David Andrew
Last night the doctor said that the
boys temperature was somewhat high
and that he was suffering from the eff
fects of the severe shock to his svs-
tenn. He thought. however, that fur
ther operation might not be necessary,
although it WAS too soon to say that
definitely. George Duke. the little boy
who was with Wilford, was so fright
ened when he ran home after the acci-
dent that he could give no coherent &C.
count of it, and being but child it is
impossible TO get from him anything
further enlightenjng than that which
was given by the injured boy himself
