BOYS LEG BROKE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Might Year Old Son Of A. V. Myers
Of Burlington Hot' ), suffered
Injury I'nder far
Quinn, the eight-year-old con of
Mr. and Mrs. A. V. MyerB of the Bur
lington Hotel at Alliance, suffered a
broken bone in his right leg at noon
Wednesday when hlo leg was caught
by the hind wheel of the roadster
auto driven by Jack Griffith of Alli
ance. Some of the smaller school boys
have lately been feeling the effects of
the balmy air with the result that
they have been somewhat Oaring with
autoes which pass near the schools.
This frequently results in confusion
for the driver and in danger for the
venturesome boys.
Mr. Myers, father of the Injured
boy, attaches no blame to Jack Grif
fith for the accident. According to
Mr. Myers, a number of the cchool
boys wore trying to grab the car as
it passed them Just as school was dis
missed at Central school. A large
boy had attached himself with a
smaller one to noe side of tho car.
Mr. Griffith reached out with one
hand to push the boyn away and hit
attention was taken away from the
treat Just ahead. Just as he glanced
back he saw the Myer boy directly In
front of tho car. He was r.ble to
steer the car away so tnat tne front
wheels mir.scd him but the roar
wheel caught th- boy with the result
that a bone was broken.
Mr. Griffith put the injured boy in
his car at once and took htm to medi
cal assistance. The broken bone wa3
set and the boy will probably bo out
again in a short tlmo.

has sent to Chicago for those needs.
The mills are unable to fill their
small meal orders, Walter Buohen

stein. The grocers are unable to
borrow from each other as one mer
chant must keep pound for pound
