BOY RUN OVER
BY AUTOMOBILE.
Taylor. Texas, February 3.
' A big fivfe-passenger tourhiR car
ran over Bruno Kramer, the 14-year-old
son of Ernest Kramer,
on Main Street late this eveninor,
passing over the boy's head. It
"Was impossible to tell, at a late
hour, how serious the boy's
injuries are. The car was occu-
pied by Tom E. Fowler at Bart-
lett. owner of the car. and Ned
Bartlett, of Bartlett, who was
driving when the accident occurr-
ed. Apparently the autoists
were blameless, witnesses stat-
ing that the boy darted out from
behind a buggy, slipped and fell
in front of the car. The driver
swerved, attempting to avoid the
boy, but the rear wheel passed
over his head. The car was pro-
gressing at a moderate pace, so
it is said.
The boy's mother, who is visit-
ing in Bartlett, was brought here
by Mr. Bartlett in the car1.

BURGLARS DO
BARTLETT.
Somewhere between the hours
of 8 and 9 o'clock Wednesday
night the stores of Koepke-
Brown Co., Duncan Hardware
Co., Dan McKinzie and Law-
rence Bros., were entered by a
burglar and relieved of some
small change, and dry gnods-
the total not being very great.
The entrance at each place was
gained by knocking a panel out
of the rear doors, with an ax,
which was found afterwards.
The clothing was also found,
being lost by the burglar, as he
was pursued after he was dis-
covered by passers-by in the
stdre of Lawrence Bros. The
burglar made his escape, but
Marshal Dickerson arrested a
negro yesterday morning on
suspicion, and placed him in
the calaboose. It is thought by
those who saw the negro in
Lawrence Br03. store, that he is
the guilty party.
