Boys Arm, Badly
Mangled By
Auto Truck

AS the result OF being run over by
the auto truck Of the southern Colo
rado Mercantile company driven by
young John Aiello. son of Charles
Aiello, shortly after o'clock last
evening at the corner of Main and
Convent streets, Baird Clark, age Z,
son of Mrs. Nora Clark, teacher at
the Columbian school, suffered bad
fracture OF the left arm between
the elbow and wrist. The bones in
the lower part Of the child's arm
were badly crushed.
The child, in company with is
older brother. Norton, age 8, was
crossing the street when the heavily
loaded truck turned on to Main
street from Convent street. The
child. seeing the truck slowly ap-
preaching him. became excited and
instead of moving either way stood
still and allowed the truck to run
over him. crushing his left arm. The
truck was moving slowly at the time
and it is only due to this fact that
the lads injuries were not of greater
extent.
Upon examination by Dr. Espey it
was found that the boy had sustained
no injuries outside of the fractured
arm, although 1t took some time for
him to recover from the shock.
This morning the doctor stated
that IL there was any life at all in
the arm that amputation would not
be necessary and that everything was
boing done to cave the boys arm.
Mrs. Nora Clark. mother of the in
jured boy. who II, school teacher at
the Columbian school, was grief
stricken over the affair and this
morning was not able to take charge
of her class.
1t was stated by several eye wit
nesses to the accident that the driver
of the truck was not responsible for
the accident as he was going at a
slow rate of speed at the time and
did everything in his power to stop
the car.
After thorough examination
this morning by DR.. John Espey
there was found to be a sluggish cir
culation in the injured hand Of the
Clark boy and the shattered bones
were mended together without am
putation. The physicians are in the
hopes that the hand will heal and it
will not be necessary for amputation.

another in an unbrOken barrier

ments are hotly contested and still
the final outcome is not in sight.
The apparent inability of the Ger
mans to 3ush thru recent successes
at Dixmude to a decisive issue has
removed much of anxiety that was

ported by Vienna. A Petrograd dis
patch has it that the Germans suf-
fered a severe defeat beyond Kalisx,
leaving many dead on the field. This
report, however, has not been con-
drmed.
Vienna states that the campaign
against the Servians is proceeding
successfully and that the enemy has
been forced to abandon fortified pos.
sessions and is in full retreat. Fight
ing centers along the banks Of the
river Save, which separates north
western Servia from Austria. At one
point, according to Austrian reports,
1900 ServianS were captured.
In the Caucasus the fighting con-
tinues with severity and Turkish re.
ports are to the effect that the Rus
SLAMS are now being attacked on
their second line of defense. Beyond
earlier admissions that the Turkish
attack was severe, Russian has given
few details of the fighting in this
theatre.
Great Britain is calling for an
other million of men to pour into the
war. A supplementary estimate pro-
viding for this force was iptroduoea
today in the house Of coaainons.
Indications point to another naval
battle in the Pacific. The German
fleet apparently is remaining close
to the South American coast and re.
ports from various places suggest
that japanese and British warships
are drawing in on the Germans, De-
struction of a German submarine is
reported unoffivially from Dunkirk.
Ia French torpedo boat, attacked by
the submarine, is said to have run
it down.
Although the fighting at Tsing
Tau has ended, further loss of life
there was reported today from Toxic.
The explosion of a subterranean
mine killed 10 men and wounded 81.
Aside from the situation in Bel
gium, the chief point in today's war
news was the safe arrival at VAL
paraiso, Chile, of the German crui-
sers Leipzig and Dresden. These
ships were part of the German fleet
which defeated the British squadron
off the Chilean coast November l.
Nothing had been heard from the
