BOY BADLY HURT.

Edwin Williams, the IA year old
son OF Attorney A. L. Williams was
painfully and seriously, though not
dangerously. hurt Sunday afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock when he fell from
a bicycle under DR.. j. l.. Masters car,
the rear wheel of which passed over
his right leg.
Young Williams was riding on the
handle bars of bicycle with Cecile
Gay, smaller lad guiding the wheel.
The boys were coasting down the hill
in front Of DR.. Efner's residence at
a rapid clip. DR.. Masters with his wife
and Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Gregg in
his Buick-six, was driving down Main
street toward his residence. He saw
the boys coming down the hill to the
corner and turned out to the side of
the road to give them room to make
the turn, at the same time slowing
down his speed until he just had
enough headway to keep the engine
going with the clutch in gear. BY the
time the boys on the bicycle reached
the corner they were going at rapid
rate and young Gay with his compan-
ion holding to the handle bar was
unable to make the turn. AS a result
they collided with the automobile and
both were thrown to the ground. 1t
Is evident that Williams was caught
and held by the bicycle in such way
that the rear wheel of the auto crush
ed his leg.
DR.. Elmer happened to be coming out
Of his house at the time and he i'm
mediately rushed to the spot The
injured lad was lifted into the car
and DR.. Masters drove with him to the
hospital and then went Immediately
to the lads home for his parents.
Upon examination of the injury 1t
was discovered that multiple COM
pound fracture had resulted. both
bones of the leg being broken just
above the ankle and the tibia broken
in another place about four inches
higher. DR.. Elmer gave his atten-
ton to the injury at once and while
the boy is suffering from the shock
and the wound he is doing nicely.
No blame whatsoever attaches to
DR.. Masters who not only took the
precaution to drive far to the side
of the road to give the boys plenty of
room in which to turn the corner, but
he was driving so slowly that when
the collision came he stopped his car
within it's length. The boys were go
! inp with preater speed than they real
ized and because Of the way they were
riding were unable to make the turn
when thew reached the corner.

A bit of spring is in the air,
The birds are singing everywhere.
And where there once was snow
The summer bringing wind does blow
They say its noted for its rains,

But anyway there's some of both;
That pleases everyone.
The little leaves are peeping out.
And coming from the ground;
And wherever the sun is out
These leaves are to be found.
And Easter Eggs are coming too.
A TRULY April sign,
And you may say whate'ere you please,
say that April's fine.

Case of Mexican FederaIs Fir
ing On American AviatorSI
Is Passed Up to Washing
ton; Did Not Shoot to Hit,

Laredo, Texas. Sept, Possibility
of an immediate retaiiatory action
by United States military forces in
connection with the attack yesterday
on an American army plane has been
eliminated, It was indicated here to-
night by the admission of Mexican
authorities today that the attack was
made by CarranZa soldiers
While official information was
lacking, the impression was gained in
army circles that this admission has
removed the situation from the hands
of the military. so far as emergency
action is concerned, and placed 1t
directly up to Washington for proper
diplomatic action.
Mexican Consul Garcia said COM
plete report had been made to Mex
leo City, with request for instruc-
tons as to punishment for those
guilty.
One point in difference tonight be-
tween Mexican and American re-
ports was the location of the air
plane when the attackers fired the
opening volley into 1t. Consul Garcia
declared an investigation shows 1t
was one kilometer inside the Mex
lean border, while unofficial Ameri-
can reports insist the plane was in
United States territory at the time.
The Mexicans fired at the aviators,
Consul Garcia said, merely to cause
them to fly higher, as their airplane
was frightening their horses, grazing
nearby. The consul said they did
not intend to hit the aviators or their
plane.
The wound sustained by Captain
D. W. McNabb, one of the fliers. is
healing rapidly, it was said tonight,
and no complications are expected.
His companion, Lieutenant Won Ded

there was little lowering; then really

But the back had been discovered. Down,
steadily down it went; shoulder straps held
up the retreating bodice, straps that grew
steadily longer. 1t is true that they were
of not so much practical use. But they did
preserve the Illusion of partial clothing of

during the war, maybe because America

fashion was secondary. When the war was
