Douglas Gammon Seriously Injured
Douglas Gammon, 13-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Gammon, was very seriously injured Thursday fornoon by being run over by a wagon. His scalp was almost severed from his head after the fashion of the Indian warrior and it took between fifteen and twenty stitches to fasten it to its former place.
Douglas was served as water boy for the Good Bros. thresher and they were at work across the river west of town. He lay down under a wagon and when the driver got ready to start up he did not notice the boy under it and drove off, the wagon wheel catching the scalp and tearing it nearly off and throwing the boy so that the when then passed over his chest. He was hastened to Carrollton where Dr. Bridgefarmer sewed the scalp on and cared for him.
Whether there are internal injuries is not known at this time. The boy was carried to his home here and at the time we went to press he was suffering a great deal and had a high fever.
