BA04sS LIFE CRUSHED
zOUT BY AUTOMOBILE

Streator. Oct. "a little prOmis-
ing life was snuffed out Monday even
ing when Raymond. the 1-year-old
son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Pile. 1907
North Bloomington street. was struck
by a motor ear, receiving injuries
from which he died a few minutes
later.
From the evidence submitted by
eye witnesses. the accident was un-
avoidable so far as Mr.. Daugherty was
concerned. as the child had raced in
front OF his machine when he was
abreast of IT, The car was travelling
at rate Of between ten and fifteen
miles an hour. but the darting of the
child In front of the car was so sud
den the driver was powerless to stop
until the child was struck.
Mr.. Daugherty stopped the car
within three rods of the accident ana
went back to offer assistance to the
mother. who had picked the child up,
but there was nothing he could do
and he then came to town and re-
ported the accident to the police de
partment. The ambulance was dis
patched to the scene and a physician
summoned, but when the latter ar
rived. which was within a few min
utes. he decided the ambulance would
not be needed. as the child was breath
ing its last.
