May Be Fatally Injured.
Riding Bicycle, He Ran Into
DR.. Menninger's Auto.

The high wind today was respon-
sible for an accident that may prove
fatal to Edgar Carey of 312 Huntoon
street, who was struck by an auto
shortly after ! O'Clock at Sixth and
Kansas avenues. The boy, who was
Is years old, was riding a bicycle
north on Kansas avenue with his head
down to avoid the wind and dust.
DIR. c. F. Menninger, driving the auto
crashed into the front fender.
The lad was thrown in front of
the car and it ran over him. He fell
between the wheels, but the chassis
caught him and doubled him under
the machine. The car came almost
to a dead stop by this time and the
boys body Strengthened and rolled
squarely on his stomach when the
machine came to a full stop.
AS quickly as possible DR.. Mennin-
ger ran the machine from the boys
body and he was picked up by by
ISLANDERS. He was rushed to Christ $
hospital in DR.. Menninger's machine
