Naomi Jean Baker, nineteon-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Baker of Chestnnut street, had her left collar bone broken and she was | badly bruised about the body, when she was struck about one o'clock today by the horses driven by a man hauling wood. The child had escaped , from the yard and had wandered into the street. The man had hauled a load of wood and was returning with hie empty wageja.

A doctor was called who found the child's injuries much less than feared and her escape is miraculous. Mr. Baker is the painter and paper hanger.
