culiar Accident Yesterday,

Johnny McWilllams injured IN re-
culiar Accident Yesterday.
Johnny McWilliams, l2-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander McWilliams
of Cherry street, was very painfully IN
iured Friday shortly after the noon hour.
A young man peddling apples with the
barrel fastened on the back of single
wagon, was driving into Byron Nunns
ward on Wolcott street and Johnny was
standing beside the barrel on the back
of the wagon. The driver started up his
horse rather suddenly and the young TEL
low was thrown into the spokes OF the
wheel and his leg was drawn up almost
double and his yells for the driver to
stop were apparently unheard and soon
his face began to be drawn in between
the wheel and the wagon body. By
ISLANDERS in Johnson's garage yelled to
the driver to stop and finally one man
had to run across the street and grab
the horse by the head before it was
stopped. The little fellows face was
badly scratched and cut, and in order to
remove the body from the wheel, the
wheel had to be removed from the wag-
on and the boy with it. DR.. George was
called to dress the boys wounds, but
at the time this was written it had not
been ascertained whether any bones were
broken in the leg or not. 1t should be
a lesson to boys not to climb on moving
vehicles of any kind and the driver,
knowing the boy was on the wagon,
should take more precaution.
