Jimmy Smith, the 12 years old son

West Eleventh etreot, was badly In
jured this forenoon when the bicycle
he was riding and the Dodgo automo
bile driven by Loon Wilkinson collid
ed at the city hall corner, Front and
West Sixth street, the scene of so
many accidents In the past. . .
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.
The boy was riding west on Sixth
street, and Mr. Wilkinson was pro
ceeding north on Front street, both
close to the gutter. 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. Tho
front wheel of tho car passed ovor
his abdomen and the rear wheel over
his head. IIo was still in a stupor
late this afternoon.
