Wednesday forenoon two men ia a bts New York auto truck drove up to Dr. J. Fl. McLaughlin's office on Main street Two men got down of the seat and ear- ried a boy about Is years of age into t;se doctors office. The boys head was. vTs,- ped in cloths which were soaked in blood. The doctor found a long, deer' gash on the back of the boys head vhic1 it took a considerable number of stitches to close. The boy was very weak from loss of blood and complained of pain h his leg. Thinking the boys leg might be broken, the doctor made an examination but found no fracture. The story k an unusual one. When the big truck Left New York city, bound for Glasgo, nun Der of city kids caught on to the troci
 and begged for ride. As the distance increased from the city all the boys dropped off but one. When well ID the line he begged to be allowed to make the trip. and as he couldn't he left 90 far from the city, and was such a fine Httle fellow withal. he was allowed to gtay aboard. Wednesday morning after teav- ing Glasgo, when near Pachaus. Jimmie. as the men called him. in some way. he couldn't tell how, fell off and received the injuries which the doctor found The men showed much anxiety for the boy and were for leaving him in Jevett City but Jimmie stood out strenuously against any such plan. So, upon advice of the doctor, the men left with him, agreeing 1 that as their, route lay through several
 cities they would leave him if he seemed
 unable to stand the trip to New. York
