BOY RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE
Coafnaed In Attempting t Cross
street and Is track by Machine
Driven by Dr. Drldaes.
Johnnie Bartlcy. the 9-year-old son of Vic
tor Bartley, SouUi Twenty-third street.
died at the Clarkson hospital shortly after
7:30 o'clock last night from Injuries re
ceived by being run d'er by an automobile
owned and driven by Dr. Wilson O.
Bridges, 123 South Twenty-nfth avenue. The
accident occurred about t:15 p"m. at Tweu-ty-thlrd
and Leavenworth' atreets. Dr.
Bridges descrllied the accident as follows :
"I was driving on the north' aide bt Leav
enworth street at ordinary 1 speed, when
suddenly the Hartley boy darted out from
the sidewalk as though to cross the street.
I turned the machine to pass behind the
boy, when he stopped1 and retraced his
steps. I then directed the machine In the
original direction, when the .boy, evidently
bewildered, changed his course again and
fairly Jumped In front of the automobile
before I could shut off the power, and was
knocked down.
"I turned around as soon aa possible,
alighted and carried the boy to the side
walk. He was unconscious with wounds
about the head. The lad was then carried
to the Peyton drug store, 2401 Leavenworth
street by one of the witnesses to the ac
cident. I telephoned the. Clarkson hospital
to prepare for the care of the boy."
The Bartley home Is but a short distance
from the scene of the accident and the
parents were hastily summoned. At the
drug store they acquiesced In ' the plan
to have their son taken' to the honpltal
and Dr. Bridges' automobile was utilised
for the purpose. The boy showed slight
signs of a return of consciousness at the
drug store, but afterward remained in a
state of coma. Dr. Bridges and two other
physicians worked over the Injured lad,
doing all that lay within their power to
prevent life from departing from the little
body, but without avail and death oc
curred about two and a half hours after
the accident. . .
Dr. Bridges 'was greatly agitated over
the unfortunate affair, but he did not
feel he was to blame so' much as the boy.
He said he dld'hls best to avoid tho boy,
turning In the opposite direction from that
taken by him in order ' ro pans . behind
him and had he but kept to his course he
would have cleared the machine without
any trouble.
There were three or four witnesses to the
accident and some of. them stated the lit
tle boy tried to dodge a, team and wannn
going south on Leavenworth street and
probably became excited.
Death, It Is thought, resulted from In
ternal Injuries, as tho head wounds did
not appear eufhVicatly serious to cause
death. The body was taken In charge by
Coroner Bra Hey and- an Incmest will be
held at 5 o'clock this nfternoon.
APRIL GETS IN FIERY MOOD
Omaha the Center of a Hot Spot
Yesterday, with a Dreadfally
Dasty Wind.
Omaha got the hot end of a miserably
hot day yesteiday. It is not often that
April takes on such a mood in this part
of the world, but yesterday the fair goddess
of the weather put on about the ugliest
of moods, and what sh did to suffering
mortality in these parts was good and
plenty. "Oe, but she's got a mean disposi
tion," said the weatherman, aa he looked at
his thermometer at I o'clock yesterday
afternoon and saw the mercury had
mounted to the M notch. And at that time
the wind from the south was hurling things
through the air like a Mount Pele erup
tion. About everything moveable, save the
false work for the new building, was car
ried along with clouds of dust all day
long, and in and outdoors peopl sweltered
and said unpleasant things about the man
at the helm.
But Omaha wasn't the only hot place
under the sun, or in this vicinity. At
Huron. 8. D., the mercury touched the
same old to, and at Kansas City It got up
to M. That's what hurt. Just think ot
Kansas City having better weather than
Omaha. It never happened ' befoie, even
