From the best information obtainable, the lad was playing with another boy at a filling station, near town, and without looking, ran in front of an automobile, said to have been driven by Pal SHOAF of Ashport. SHOAF and a young lady, Miss Henrietta WILLIAMS, were in town and drove out on the highway and were returning to Ripley when the accident. Eyewitnesses say the accident was unavoidable. In attempting to stop the car by applying emergency brakes, the SHOAF car was swung across the road. QUEEN's left leg was broken below the knee, and his collarbone fractured. H. D. CAMPBELL, traveling salesman for the Southern Saddlery Co., Chattanooga, passed just as the accident happened and brought the young man to the office of Dr. J. R. LEWIS for medical treatment. He is seriously injured, but not necessarily fatally hurt. QUEEN is the son of Mr.& Mrs. J. T. QUEEN and was living with Carey STYERS at Confederate Park.
