Leo Healer, son of Mrs. E. J. Healer
of I ;oro, who is attending school in
Lampasas, suffered minor injuries
Monday evening about 8 o’clock, when
he was hit by an automobile driven
by John Earnest Jr. The accident oc-
curred on Third Street, near the Cot-
tage Bakery. Several boys were run-
ning along the sidewalk to the fire,
the alarm having just been sounded,
and as Leo started to cross the street,
he ran in front of the passing auto-
mobile. The impact rendered him un-
conscious for a short time but it is
thought that his injuries are slight.
He suffered a severe injury to his
left leg but it is thought that he will
be fully recovered in a few days.
HOME OF G. R. CHAFIN
BURNS MONDAY NIGHT
Fire destroyed the home of Mr. and
Mrs. G. R. Chafin, located on Fourth
street near the business district, Mon-
day evening about 8 o’clock. It is be-
lieved that the blaze was caused from
I defective electric light wiring as the
flames spread from the meter on the
front porch to the rooms of the house
by means of the wires and soon the
structure was a mass of flames. Local
firemen, extinguished the blaze but it
had gained too much headway and
the house and contents were prac-
tically destroyed.
Mr. and Mrs. Chafin had left the
house only an hour before the fire
broke out. They carried a small
amount of insurance on both the house
and the furnishings.

WHOLE FISH; RECOVERS
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.—Floyd
Fought, 18 months old, was taken to
a hospital here last night, apparent-
ly in a dying condition.
Doctors were puzzled. Finally one
in the group ran forceps down the
infant’s throat and pulled. Out came
a whole fish.
Artificial respiration was resorted
to and soon Floyd Foght began to
cry and then to laugh.
His mother said he found the fish
on a kitchen table, apparently, and
swallowed it while no one was look-
ing.
