across the street on the run from the
Rockhold home opposite, and not no ?!
ticing the automobile ran directly in
front of the machine, the fender
striking him and Rocking him di-
rectly in front of it, and passing over
him before it could be stopped, but
fortunately the wheels did not touch
any part of his body. AS soon as the

fortunate boy and carried him to his
home where he lay for some time be-
fore regaining consciousness. His
face was badly scratched and his
body considerably bruised, but 9TH
erwise he was not seriously injured.
No blame is attached to anyone for
the accident as it was one OF those
kind that under the cir
cumstances, could not have been
avoided, but it was very fortunate
indeed that it was not more serious.

Paid Fine for Driving Auto Without
Lights.

Emmett c. Cowles entered plea
of guilty to the charge of operating
an auto in a careless manner, before
Saturday, and was fined $500 and
costs. About the time of the. Davis
City reunion Mr.. Cowles was driving
his car without proper lights and col
lided with rig driven by A.. q.
Blair of near Lineville. The atten-
ton of county attorney w. ]. Spring
er was called to the matter. and re,
suited in an information being filed
against Mr.. Cowles, who promptly
plead guilty and paid his fine. This
should prove a warning to many auto
owners who are failing to have their.
lights burning as provided by law,
and unless there is a change there
will probably be number OF other
prosecutions on this charge.
