MOTORCYCLE VICTIM PICKED UP FOR DEAD

Bert Avis Meets Accident on South Gravel Road and is Rendered Unconscious. While touring to his home in Goodland this morning, Barney Clark found' a young man in the road, apparently dead, but closer investigation found the victim unconscious, a motorcycle laying in the ditch at the side of the road, and the cause of his injury was thus apparent. Mr. Clark brought the young man to town and it was found that the unfortunate'victim of the accident was Bert Avis, who rides a motorcycle. Medical aid was sought and the extent of the young man’s injuries are somewhat in doubt. It is thought probable that he struck some unforseen obstacle and was thrown, striking his head and thus rendering him unconscious.
