RUN OVER BY ICE WAGON Little Bertie Williams' Astound- I ing Experience. Bertie Williams, the six year old sou of Mrs. G. D. Williams of this city, was ruu over by a heavy wagon, loaded with ice, 011 Thursday, and that Bo survived the experience and is recovering, seems almost miracul ous. The teams which were hauling Ice from the waler company's plant at tho river to tho railroad yards for shipment passed iu front of tho Will iams residenco ou West Front street aud sometimes Bertie would go out and get a piece of ice. This timo he was playing iu the streets when the wagon came along. Tho boy has not beeu able to give a very coherent ac count of what huppeued, but ho seem ed to have climbed on tho wagon and, his fingers slipping from the ice to have fallen ' between tho wheels, Tho rear wheel nipped a piece from his knee, teariug looso tlio knee cap ond passed over his body just above the hips. It was a heavy transfer wagon aud with its load of ice it seems almost incredible that the boy could bo run over cu the hard road bed without being cut iu two, but the condition of his body clearly showed that such wus the case. The driver weut on up the street totally unconscious of the accideut. Un assisted except for his littlo dog, tho boy managed to get as far as the front gato where he lay down on the ground, unable to proceed farther. He was carried into tho house and medical assistance was immediately summoned. His body was found to lie terribly cut and bruised and his recovery was at first considered ex tremely doubtful but at tho present time he is improving nicely mid is thought to bo nut of nil probable danger.
