What came near being a fatal accident occurred last Sunday evening about 7 o’clock on one of our principal streets, when young Benny Horton was knocked down by Mr. A.N. Jones’ car. It seems that young Horton was trying to ride his bicycle and hold on to the car, but in some way he missed his hold and was thrown against the car in such force as to knock a hole in his leg, and he was thrown to the ground. He was painfully hurt, but not seriously.
He was out on the streets Wednesday, using a crutch.
