Mr. Bell and those with him had been visiting at the home of Mrs. Bell’s father, Sam Conn, and were on their way back to Brookston. The boys climbed on the running board of the car, thinking that Mr*. Bell was going to Brook and then back Vo the Conn home. After they had gone some little distance, Mr. ,Bell told the boys that he was not going back to Mr. Conn’s and that they had better jump off the car. As they went to jump one of the ladies caught hold of the little Conn boy’s coat, thinking to steady him, but instead seems to have swung his body about so that it fell beneath the rear wheel the car, which passed over his body.

Lowe, of this city, relatives of the Conn family, Were called to Brook this Saturday morning.
