He was badly injured about the legs, the flesh of the left leg being torn loose almost the entire length of the limb. The right foot and leg was also out and bruised. He was taken to the hospital, where Drs. Smith and Lrugblen performed an operation. The boy rallied nicely, but at 6:30 o'clock in the afternoon be died as the result of shock. Besides his mother and Step-father, he leaves four brothers and two sisters, Henry, Freddie, William, Eddie, Sophia and Minnie. - The Republican Press September 26, 1908.
