BARRE CHILD FATALLY
HURT BY AUTOMOBILE

Barre oct. 2L-Cccclia Skcrritt yours
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. william
Skerritt, died this morning a Few NM
utes past midnight from internal injuries
received when an automobile owned 'nd
operated by a. w. Badger ran over Fe'
yesterday afternoon. The child was fO1f
years and seven months old. The accident
occurred near hebridGe connecting BROOK
street with Maple avenue. Mr.. Badger
stopped his car Immediately and took the
child to her nome, where Dr. w. +. La
zcl was called. Although the little gir'
was badly bruised about the thighs anu
stomach. the physicians examination d'd
not disclose any bone fractures. lndl'a-
tons Of internal injuries, if there were
any, could not be diagnosed at once.
The child seemed to brighten consider
ably after she was removed to the houFN
and the fear of internal injuries was dis
sipated for a time. Later in the evening
she began to have chills and toward mid
night she sank rapidly.
Accompanying the driver in the automo'
bile was Mrs. Badger, who with her nus
hand was proceeding to the home of a
friend on Long street \ number oil
women witnessed the accident and Charles
NJ. Hawes and Ernest Fletcher, emploS"'
of the Oldsmobile company. We're also II
the vicinity when the accident happened
The Witnesses generally concur in TIC
opinion that Mr.. Badger was not at faul.
The fact that he was driving slowly ant
that older children who were with tho
Skerritt child were negligent in crossnl
the street were cited as elements whicl
tended to absolve the driver of the auto
mobile from blame.
