The young man suffered a bad gash on the back of his head and the right side of his body is a mass of black bruises, and his right ankle was badly sprained. It required requir-ed five stitches to close the - ugly gash on the back of the head. Ken-ney's Ken-ney's condition is greatly improved and it is thought that if complications complica-tions do not arise, he will be able to be about within a week or ten days. Circumstances leading up to the accident are vague, and Mr. Kenney does not remember just how it happened, hap-pened, as he was rendered uncon- j scious at the time and did not regain his senses until Sunday morning. ! According to reports, however, Kenney Ken-ney was returning from Centerfield, i and was riding his bicycle. As he j passed over the bridge just south of j the Rosenvall garage, he was hit by! a Studebaker automobile, driven by i Ben Peterson. Another car, the! name of the driver as yet unknown, was also headed north. When the Peterson car passed the strange car, ' lie-hts from both autos confused the drivers, with the result that Peterson ran into the bicycle ridden by Kenney. Kenney, it is claimed, was in the middle of the highway and out of his right of way. When the Peterson car hit the bicycle ridden by Kenney, the latter was thrown on the hood of the Peterson car, afterwards ' rolling to the pavement. The bicycle was tossed some twenty feet ahead of the point where the collision occurred. Kenney was picked un unconscious and hurried to the office of Dr. Hagan. An examination disclosed a bad cut on the head, but no bones 1 were broken. After first aid treat-j ment had been given . Kenney was taken to his home. I |
