Linden ave- nue, narrowly escaped death beneath tho wheels of a heavy automobile truck late Wednesday evening of last week, when she was knocked down; and dragged a distance of more than twenty feet. She escaped with a few slight bruises, so slight In fact thai she refused any aid in returning to her home. Eleanor was on roller skates and i was crossing Central avenue at the Milwaukee electric tracks when she was run down.* A combination of in terurban car, the heavy auto truck, west bound, and a delivery wagon at the crossing about the same time con-, fused the little girl and in her at- tempt to dodge the car and delivery wagon she stepped directly in front of the big auto truck. Luckily the truck was not moving j at a high rate of speed, despite the! fact that it crossed the railway cross- j ing just in front of an electric car. i The bumper or fender gave way when the victim was struck and she was thrown to the ground beneath the axles of the huge machine. The front; axle caught the littleâ€"bodyâ€"and she j was dragged for a short distance. I Then she was released and just as Candidates To Be IToted On in Annual 1OT Tuesday FOR VILLAGE CLERK EARL E.
