Driver Leaves Bateman in Road with Compound Fractured Leg, Oct. 17, 1922

Wild Motorist Is Mum About Serious Results

Nobody has come out and confessed to running down Doctrin Bateman, a Weeksville man, who suffered a compound fracture of one of his legs and sustained painful bruises abut his body Friday night when he was run over by a wildly driven automobile near the fair grounds. Mr. Bateman had been to his sister’s nearby for supper and was returning to his work at the fair grounds when the accident happened. His cries soon brought friends who picked him up and took him to the Community Hospital.
