FORD KNOCKS BABY
UNCONSCIOUS AN D
THEN SPEEDS AWAY
LITTLE MONA CROSS, AGED a,
PICKED UP BY PARENTS AFTER
BEING FELLED BY PASSING
AUTO.

Norma Cross. year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. p. Cross, who re-
side on farm, Route 6, near Otta-
wa, is a patient at the city hospital
as the result of being struck by a
Ford touring car driven by an un-
known man.
According to hospital authorities
the accident happened yesterday aft
ernoon directly in front of the Cross
home. The little girl was crossing
from one side of the road to the other
when the speeding auto struck her
and tossed her to one side. The car
stopped. but when the parents of
the little girl ran out of the house
to their daughters aai the driver of
the car drove away from the scene
without Offering any aid.
The little tot was unconscious when
picked up and carried into her home
DR.. s. +. Parr was summoned to at
tend her but he ordered her brought
to the city hospital, where she lies
today.
The little tots injuries are not ex-
pected to prove serious, but the doc
tor and her parents thought it would
be easier to attend her at the hospit-
al Most of her injuries seem to be
about the head as that portion of
her body was struck by the forward
part of the front fender The fact
that the car which struck her was
not going at fast rate of speed
probably saved the little girls life,
but the parents of the child are very
angry at the driver for his failure to
stop and see what was the result Of
the accident.
