Anderson, TAKEN FROM THE MIDDLEMORE HOME IN BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND. While playing in the barn on Friday evening he accidently pulled over a large team sled which was leaning against the wall. He was knocked down, the sled runners struck him violently on the head. George Anderson who was feeding the cattle close by heard the noise and rushed to his rescue. Blood flowing profusely from the mouth, nose and ears, he was carried to the house apparently dead, but when signs of life were seen, Dr. Murray was summoned and remained all night. He succeded in bring the little fellow to partial consciousness by morning.
