BOY FELL UNDER
 LOADED LOG WAGON
On Laurel Street, Where Both Wheels Passed Over Body Yet Will Recover From
 Wounds.

Jeff Jones, a little fellow and small for his age of fifteen years, yet who was doing a mans work in the hauling of logs from the Wallace farm to Dean & Hocking's mill, fell from the loaded wagon upon which he was riding about 5 o'clock Friday afternoon in front of the tennis court on Laurel street and both front and rear wheels passed over his body.
 It seems almost miraculous that he was not killed and yet his injuries were not so severe, but what he will probably recov- CT. He was picked up at once by the drivers of other wagons and carried to the office of Dr. Gray, who dressed his injuries.
 The collar bone was broken and that part of his body was soon badly swollen. The bone may be depressed into the lungs. The other wheel passed over one leg just below the knee, breaking no bones but cutting q long gash that bled profusely land had to have five or six stitches.
 The brave little fellow stood the suffering well and was talk len to his home in Oil Trough that night. He is the son of Sam Jones' and had taken the place of Dock Jones, who was injured Thurs day in the woods on Village Greek, one foot being badly mashed by a log.
