Little Girl Run Over by Auto, But Not Seriously Hurt.

The little 9-year-old grand daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Ohupp, Irene Clifton, had a narrow escape from about 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon on the crossing near the corner by Earl Duvall’s store. She was on roller skates at the time and was going so fast she could not stop. She ran right in front of D. M. Worland’d automobile, , which Mr. Worland was driving, and was knocked down and run over by the machine. She was picked up and carried to a doctor’s office and it is thought that was not seriously hurt and that no bones were brokenl although one wheel at least passed over her body, it is said. It was a very narrow escape and should serve as a lesson to other children who do not take reasonable precautions to avoid accidents of this kind.
