Mr. and Mrs. Clark, their little son, and
F. Murphy, cousin, were in an auto ac-
cident Saturday night at South Charles
town, n, H., when the car went off the
road and for some distance across a
ploughed field and into an apple tree.
1t is supposed that low hanging branch
of the tree struck the boy in the fore
head, for his skull was crushed and a
piece of bone sticking into the brain
was removed at the hospital. The father
was thrown so that he struck on his
stomach, where the internal injuries seem
to have developed. Mrs. Clark and Mr..
Murphy were uninjured. The car was
