The injured lad was taken to the Sanitarium In an unconscious-condition. The full extent of his Injuries, altho he was promptly attended to by Drs. Porter and Sweeney, had not de veloped this afternoon, but It was thot that no bones were broken and that his skull was not fractured. His injuries wore thot to be mostly bud bruises and a badly rut wrist. Eyo witnesses of the accident all exonerate Mr. Wilkinson from blame.

Tho corner of tho city hall building prevented each from seeing the other until just a second before the collision. The boy was thrown from the bicycle.
