SEAMAN BOY INJURED.
Falls Under Delivery Truck - Leg
Badly Bruised.

6ao'y oru'sso'
Roy Seaman. 9-year- old son OF MT.
and Mrs. c. M. Seaman, 704 East
Linn street, was painfully injured at
noon today, when he fell from a
Citizens Lumber Company truck on
which he was riding home from
school. The lad fell under the truck
which passed over his left les'
causing severe bruises. That the
boy escaped more serious injury Is
remarkable.
The accident occurred near the
intersection of Main street ana
Third avenue and the boy was taken
to the Deaconess hospital. At first
it was feared he had suffered n
fractured leg and possibly internal
injuries. A more careful examin-
alton. however, showed his injuries
less serious than had been believ-
ed. He probably will be able to De
moved to his home tomorrow.

bles y generosos hijos de este adora-
do pedazo de TERRA que Sc llama Puer-
to Rico.
No me extraiia el enthusiastic agasa-
jo; 10 esperaba, porque despues de
cuarenta amos de convivencia con los

Que la vista del alfonso XIII"
sea una nueva cadena para reforzaI
las amarras que hoy nos tienen COM
Ipletamente unidos espafioles y puer-
torriquenos, bajo el amparo de Ia
gran naci6n americana, y que el in
ronpible vfnculo espiritual y de razs
que tan fuertemente nos une, sea el
norte de la aspiration y de la felici-
dad de ambos pueblos hermanos.
Benito ZalduondO.
