Little Girl On Horse And
Boys On Bike In Spill

A collision between a horse ridden
by a little girl and a bicycle ridden
by two young boys resulted in quite
a mixup Wednesday noon on Boston
avenue in which all the participants
were more or less shaken up, but
fortunately not seriously injured.
Arlene Suite. daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Suite, was riding home
from school on the family horse and
along the same way rode Herman
Estes. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Estes on his wheel, with Tommie
Henderson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Henderson. as his passenger,
riding on their handle bars
The children say that they were
not racing and they don't exactly
know how it happened. but the colli-
sion occurred with the result that
Arlene was thrown over the horses
head and the boys were more or less
stunned by being thrown from their
bicycle. The children were taken
into the home of George Stobie and
a physician was called, who admin
istered aid to the Henderson lad. who
suffered slight skin abrasion on the
scalp and was unconscious for a
few moments. The. other children
did not need a physicians attendance.
Herman seemed little dazed after
the accident and Arlene was some
what hysterical for time but they
came out all right later in the aft
ernoon. The horse put his foot
through the bicycle wheel. but only
broke oht two spokes and after the
accident stood perfectly still until
he was extricated from his position.
