Show THROWN M I HORSE. Dttle Johnny Allen Suffers Serious Injury. Dr. Shores Thinks the Boy Hat a Bare "Fighting Chance. Down at the Lake Resort yesterday aftern-'on a sad accident occured. Lit tle Johnny Allen, aged 10 years, son of August II. Allen, was to go up town on an errand. He wished to make the journey on a fractious cayuse, but his mother objected, and wished him to ride a more tractable animal. He, however persisted, and gained his point. On his return from the city, and when within a short distance of Lome, the mare got her mouth loose from his grip, owing to the fact that the reins became tangled. The animal ran down the road until the bowery was reached, when it dashed in under the bough-covered bough-covered structure, throwing the boy head foremost either on the sharp edges of one of.. .the benches, or, as Dr. Shores thinks, against one of the supporting posts. Joe Thompson happened to be in the vicinity, and carried car-ried the inert boy to his home close by. The street railway motor was standing on the siding at the time, and Passenger Passen-ger Acent Bachman ordered that a special trip be made to the city for Dr. Shores. Upon the arrival of the doctor, doc-tor, he made an examination of the patient, pa-tient, and, seeing that a delicate operation oper-ation was necessary and assistance needed, he dispatched the motor for Di. Pike and an assistant. The physicians phy-sicians found that a serious depression of the frontal bone existed, with a fracture at the base of the cranium. They raised the depressed bone, after which the patient seemed to rally, convulsions con-vulsions ceased, and most of the ala-m-ing symptoms passed away. The doctors doc-tors think the boy has a bare fighting chance. |
