G. McMana- w'ay's Buick can came in collision at the corner of McDowell and Fifth streets wrecking the machine and in juring two little bovs, Ravmond and V Harry Jacobs, one seven years old, the other four, sons of Mr. Robt, H. Ja cobs, of TOG East Fifth street. The younger child is painfully hurt, the older, it is feared, seriously hurt. The accident occurred about ■9:45 A North bound Hoskins car left the square at 9;:>5 or 9:40. The car turned into McDowell street, north, and con tinued northward toward Fifth street. Dr. McManaway had been on a pro fessional visit in his car on East Fifth a block or tv/o from McDowell. He and his colored driver. John Martin w’ere in the front and Mr. F. O. Haw ley, jr., and I\Ir. Will Kidd, of Hawley’s Pharmacy, in the back seats. Dr. Mc- Manaw'ay was driving. As he passed Mr. Jacobs the little boys w^ere playing in the street and knowing them, Dr. McManaw^ay let them jump on the left running board of the machine to take a little ride. The turn from Fifth into McDow'ell is narrow', there being little margin between the car line and the sidewalk. The street car and the auto mobile got to the crossing simultan eously. The car was going at its usual rate of speed. The automobile failed to make the turn, and in an instant car and automobile came together with terriflG Sorce, on auto’s left, on \vhich side were the little boys. The children were jammed between the auto and car and then fell under the car. The prompt action of the motor- man in reversing the car saved them from instant death. The car was knocked clear off the track, the left platform step smashed and a strip ripped off the side. The automobile was demolished, the entire tonnjeau being torn off, and the auto litterally torn to pieces. None of the ocupants of the auto were hurt. The colored driver who w^as on the side which struck the car got a finger mashed, but that was the extent of the damage to the car occupants. Instantly all hands were at work helping to ex tricate the children. The younger one, Harry escaped without serious injury. He was torn and bruised, but no bones were broken. The older boy, Raymond was In an almost unconscious condition when picked up, He was carried by Dr. Mc Manaway • to the porch of Ranson’s store, directly on the corner of Fifth and McDowell, and his injuries attend ed to by Dr. AJpManaway, assisted by Drs. Nalle, Reid, Will Strong and King. It was found that the boy had a compound fracture of the left arm, a gash in the left thigh, and was torn ill the groins. A pathetic picture the little sufferer made as he lay on the pallet made for him on the store porch, pallid in his unconsciousness and with his mother bending over him. News of the accident reached the square in a minute, and crowds flocked to the scetie. A street car knocked al most across the track, a wrecked outo- mobile jammed against it and a crowd standing around the store porch where lay the boy whose little joy ride had erided so (iisastrously, was the scene .which caught the eye. The accident was an unfortunate affair, but it was just one of those things that happen no one knows just how, or why. Dr. McManaway was deeply grieved over the injury ta his little boy pal to whom he meant to give a pleasure ride. “The machine is ruined, but I don’t mind that if the boy had’n’t been hurt”, he said. As soon as possible the child was taken to St. Peter’s hospital. Mr. Jacobs, the father of the chil dren is a well know'n liarber, of the city. He formerly managed The Climax shop. Clearing Track.
