UTILE GIRL IS RUN OVER

By Auto While Playing In the Street —Not Seriously Injured. Louise, the little 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Carson, was quite painfully injured Wednesday evening when she was struck by a Ford automobile driven by Sam Lowery of north of town. It seems that quite a number of children in the Carson neighborhood were playing together and had gone out in the street around the ice wagon. All started back across the street ahead of the Lowery car. Mr. Lowery slowed down to let them all get across, but again started on, when several of the lit girls turned and started back across the street again and all got across but Louise, wnb was struck on the hip ’tnd fell between the wheels. The car passed over her before Mr. Lowery could stop. When picked up it was found “"that she was considerably bruised i and was scratched about the face. She suffered considerable pain during the night. Thursday morning she was taken to the county hospital and several X-Ray photographs taken, but they disclosed no broken bones, and she will probably be all right again In a few days. No blame whatever is attached to Mr. 1,0 -ery, who felt very badly about the accident, whlc’’ was unavoidable. The children had been warned about running across the sheet and the only wonder is that a similar accident had not occurred before.
