One Rib-Stopped in Road and
Puzzled Driver of Car.
Especial to The Reformer.)
WILMINGTON. Oct. /

" 'lIIAh1ANo o4NJ oC.. l..
What might have been a very ser
ious accident happened yesterday when
Barbara, four and a half years old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Verne L.
Adams was knocked down and run over
by an auto-truck belonging to Daniel
Hale and driven by Mr.. Hall of West
Dover.
Barbara was near the bridge at the
foot of Castle hill, when the automobile
came down the hill just as the little
girl started to cress the road. She be.
came confused and stopped. Mr.. Hall
thinking she was going to stand still
started his car. Just as he started
the child started, and the car knoc ked
her down and the front wheel passed
over her chest.
Harrison Kingsley, who was stand
ing near, picked the little girl up and
rushed her to DR.. A. H. Wright s office
where she was examined and the doctor
found one rib broken.
It has been wonder to many people
that more children are not injured by
automobiles in the street.

Boy Shot Through Body
Rests Comfortably in Me-
mortal Hospital
RUGG BOY TELLS
ABOUT ACCIDENT
Says Three Boys Were Together. Two
Being Armed with Rifles, and Were
Shooting at Lock on Shack Door -
No Vital Organ Hit.

Although shot through the BODY.
harry Anderson of 81 Chestnut street,
10 years old, is comfortable in the
Memorial hospital, and there appears
TO be no reason why he will not re-
cover. The boy, who is a son of Mr..
and Mrs. August Anderson, and two
other boys, Gordon Rugg, l3, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Rugg of s Estey
street, and William Belden, Is, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. ". A. Belden of 48
Maple street, went into the woods on
a hill just west of Elm Corners after
dinner yesterday, the Anderson and
Rugg boys being equipped with 22-cafi-
bre rifles, one Winchester ana one a
Stevens. The Belden boy had no rife.
After a while, according to a state.
ment made by Rugg to The Reformer.
the boys decided they wanted to get
into a shack in the woods, built bv
some boys, but the door was locked
with paddock and they had no kew.
The lads decided that they would shoot
the lock in pieces, and they were en-
gagged in that task when the Ander.
son boy was shot accidentally.
The Rugg boy had Just fred and
/ started to reload his rife, standing a
( tCN ictl Ddch VI AEueTSOn. ne inserted
cartridge and was pulling back the
hammer when his thumb slipped off
and the hammer discharged the cart
ridge.
The bullet struck Anderson in the
back, went through his liver and came
out through the front of his abdomen.
He made little outcry, but did not
fall, and the wound bled but little.
Rugg naturally was frightened and be-
gan to cry. Anderson told Belden to
hurry for physician, and Belden ran
ito Guilford street and telephoned for
DR.. Harry P. Greene. Then he returned
i to the woods and assisted Rugg in
getting their wounded companion down
the hill out of the woods. DR.. Greene
| arrived in very brief time and took
/ the boy to the hospital.
! An examination showed that the
bullet did not perforate the intestines
and did not reach any vital spot. I'm
less peritonitis sets in the boys speedy
recovery is looked for. The Rugg boy
says he viii dispose of his rifle.

had not interfered with business
growth there and that "the unpreee-
dented accumulations of funds and
banking credits in the other cities and
towns throughout the country and es-
pecially in the country banks is sig
nificant and it is imparting a bust
ness confidence and a degree of secur-
ity, stability and optimism throughout
the length and breadth of the United
States which has rarely been expert
eneed by any country"
