HARD FALL OFF WHEEL
Edwin Goltry Sustains Serious Bru,
ises in Accident.

Edwin Goltry. living on R. f. d.
No l, and Senior in the Oskaloosa
High school sustained painful in
juries last evening, when he was
thrown off his bicycle upon the ce,
ment sidewalk near the school build
ing. He was riding at a lively rate
from North First street trying to get
up enough speed to carry him up the
steep grade between North Second
and North Third streets, when the
wheel jumped off the walk, and strik-
ing a raised yard walk, threw young
Goltry for some distance along the
cement sidewalk. His left cheek and
face was severely bruised and his
back sprained by the fall. Following
the accident, he lay unconscious for
some time, and had not fully regain
ed his presence of mind when he was
taken home. No bones seemed to be
bOken by the fall and apparently no
internal injuries. were received. The
wheel was thrown several feet in the
air by the compact with the sidewalk
and was mashed badly. Those who
saw the accident say that Mr.. Col
try's escape of more serious injury
was remarkable, for he was going at
a very high speed when the wheel
5werved from the sidewalk and struck
the wooden walk at the side of 202
North Second street. He was rush
ed to his home immediately following
the accident, where medical atten-
tiOn was given.
