Near Fatal Accident On Milroy Avenue Sunday.

Sunday afternoon Frederick Fendig, the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Fendig, in crossing Milroy avenue, jumped to one side to avoid an approaching automobile and in doing so stepped in front of a machine being driven by Charles Simpson and was run over. Fortunately he fell between the wheels and the machine passed directly over him. Mr. Simpson was driving very slowly and stopped his automobile before passing entirely over the lad. Frederick crawled out from under the machine quite unharmed. This was certainly mighty lucky and all present breathed a breath of joy when the outcome was known.
