CHILD KILLED ON MAIN STREET
UBIe  WIUUub OarraU   Osllldss  With
Oae those of accidents which
causes the whole community to
throb with sorrow occurred at
the corner of Main and Sooth
Cambria Btreet, Thursday eveaiog
of laat week at aboot bait paat
eight o'eloek. William Carroll,

Edmiston had beea attracted to

a result the Carroll lad received

Steele, of Bellwood R. D. 1, and
waa moving at a slow rata of

ia front of the automobile and
tha collision followed. It is
thought tbat yoang Carroll waa
knocked ftom tbe wagom from

tbe brick pavement sustained a
fractured skull. It is thought
that the other two boya Basing

eveo a scratch. The driver of
tbe automobile stopped the ear

conveyed him to the office of
Br, T. L. Wilaon, where, assisted
