LIFE SIUSBED 0DT BEMEA11I WHEELS
Grady Atlred, a Twelve-Year-old Scbool-
Boy, Almost Instantly Killed by Fall-lag
Under Electric Car.
Another of those horrible accidents
peculiar to cities or districts having
rapid transit facilities was visited upon
Greensboro last Friday at nooa wheu
Grady Ailred, a twelve-year old stu-dent
at the Asheboro street school, fell
beneath the wheels of a paxsing street
car in sight of scores if not hundreds of
his com pan ions and WOfl almost crush-ed
to death before anyoue could realize
what had happened. The boy was
playing ball iu the street during tbe
noon recess period with a number of
companions when car No. 2 of tbe
t ireen shorn F.lectic Company, in charge
of Motormau McGee and Conductor
Kimuudrou, both experienced men,
came along at a moderate rate ofspeed.
As tbe ear neared tbe boy be was seen
by one of the teachers, Miss Hercdon,
to grasp the handrails at the steps as ii
to swing aboard for a short ride, a cus-tom
among boys that will probably
exiat as long as there are moving cars
of any description. A moment later
Miss Herndon and many ethers were
horrified to see the boy roll beneath
the heavy car. the wheels passing di-rectly
over his body, severiog the right
leg at the hip and the left legjoai above
the ankle and crushing off his riehi
hand. Three nearby ptayaiciaus were
hastily summoned and the boy was
placed aboard the car with tbe Inten-tion
of taking him to the hospital, but
before the car turucd into South Elm
street death bad ended his suffering
The remains were taken to the family
rqftldence on Vance street and prepared
for burial. The following day tifcy
were taken to Fraukliuville for inter-ment.
Notwithstanding tbe number of eye-witnesses
to the awful accident there
is a decided difference of opinion as to
how the boy actually met death.
Some claim that iu running for a ball
be failed to observe the approaching
car and was knocked down by it.
Dtliers are equally certain that lie at-tempted
to board the ear. It Is possi-ble
that loth opinions are iu a measure
cotre< •, as 'he boy may have realized
at the last moment that tbe car was
upon him and grasped the baudrailo
iu a desperate endeavor to save him-self.
The motormau, who evidently
bad perfect control of the ear, did not
see the boy until he darted toward it.
He and tbe conductor were BO unnerved
by the accident that they had to be re
Moved.
Mr. H. A. Allied, father of tbe un-fortunate
boy, is employed at one of
the furniture factories here. The fam-ily
moved from Fraukliuville to this
city about two yean ago.

to the congregation. He dwelt upon
the relations of pastor and people and
charged the members that they had a

Following the instailatiou the bene-diction
