Accident Victim Improving
Janice, little 5-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. c.. M. Schmitz, who was
struck by an automobile Sunday af-
ternoon week ago, and seriously in
jured, is slowly recovering at Mercy
hospital in Dubuque. The car was
driven by lady from Dubuque and
was going at slow speed. She saw
many people with children at the
church and like wise and sensible
woman, she checked the speed of her
car, but as it happened, the little one
got away from her mother to run
across the street, and got right in the
front of the car and was knocked
down. The lady stopped her car at
once. The child was picked up and
put in the car and the lady in an al
most hysterical condition rapidly
drove to DR.. Kenny's office where it
was found that the child had sus-
tanned fractured skull. There is no
blame attached to the lady, but to the
contrary she received words of
praise for her conduct from people
who witnessed the accident. No one
felt the occurrence more keenly than
the lady herself. We are sorry that
we have not been able to obtain her
name but have learned that she has
vowed to never drive car again
